Fails to build locally using AS 3.1

[stari4ek]

Sync/Build of project with local exoplayer built from sources fails due javadoc_library.gradle

Build tools:

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.0'

buildToolsVersion = '27.0.3'

compileSdkVersion = 27
minSdkVersion = 21
targetSdkVersion = 23

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.4-all.zip

Root cause of exception (whole callstack is really huge):

Caused by: org.gradle.api.InvalidUserCodeException: Cannot create variant 'android-lint' after configuration ':exoplayer-library-core:debugRuntimeElements' has been resolved
	at org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.configurations.DefaultConfigurationPublications$ConfigurationVariantFactory.create(DefaultConfigurationPublications.java:158)

problem is in javadoc_library.gradle with

classpath = files(variant.javaCompile.classpath.files,
	                  project.android.getBootClasspath())

Commenting whole task of this lines fixes problem
