Hi, gatling community!

I have the next question.

Why are the classes I linked to the project in the gatling module not available when adding a dependency to the gradle?

For example, gradle build file is:

```auto
plugins {
    id 'java'
    id 'io.gatling.gradle' version '3.7.6.2'
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

gatling {
    logLevel = 'WARN'
    logHttp = 'NONE'
}

```

I wanna add to my project library Gson to work with JSON (read, write, create new files and pass them as a raw payload file). So I add to build file dependencies block like this one:

```auto
dependencies {
    implementation "com.google.code.gson:gson:2.9.0"
}

```

After I’m going to my module and I can’t to use this functionality:

```auto
my-gatling-performance-test-project--
|--load-test-module
--|--src
----|--gatling
------|-- // I can't use gson library here
----|--main
------|-- // I can use gson library (but when I try use these classes from gatling module above - links doesn't works. System says that classes not found)
----|--test
------|-- // I can use gson library (but when I try use these classes from gatling module above - links doesn't works. System says that classes not found)

```

How to use dependent libraries inside gatling module?

Thanks!

It’s all in the [documentation](https://gatling.io/docs/gatling/reference/current/extensions/gradle_plugin/#dependency-management) 🙂

Because the configuration must be `gatlingImplementation`, not `implementation`.
