Getting the error 'Class file for javax.portlet.RenderURL not found' while compiling the jar file. I am in Liferay 7.2 Enterprise edition. 

I have the dependency, 

"compileOnly group: "javax.portlet", name: "portlet-api", version: "2.0" " in the build.gradle and I see the portlet-api in the 'Project and External Dependencies' 

The full error is as below :-

C:\Liferay72DXP\DXPWorkspace\gradebook\gradebook-web\src\main\java\com\liferay\training\gradebook\web\display\context\AssignmentsManagementToolbarDisplayContext.java:69: error: cannot access RenderURL

                                            ^
  class file for javax.portlet.RenderURL not found

thanks,
