Can't resolve dependency for jsoup

I'm creating a news downloading gradle project with the following directory structure.

news-feed (root)
|-bbc-plugin (sub-project)

I want to use the jsoup library for my sub-projects so I add the dependency to my root build.gradle file as follows.

import org.gradle.api.artifacts.*

apply plugin: 'base' // To add "clean" task to the root project.
apply plugin: 'application'

mainClassName = 'newsFeed.MainMenu'

subprojects {
    apply from: rootProject.file('common.gradle')

    apply plugin: 'java'

    dependencies {
        compile 'org.jsoup:jsoup:1.10.3'
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile project(':bbc-plugin')
}

I can't build the project because of the error

* What went wrong:
Could not resolve all files for configuration ':bbc-plugin:compileClasspath'.
> Can't resolve external dependency org.jsoup:jsoup:1.10.3 because no repositories are defined.
  Required by:
      project :bbc-plugin

Is there are way to specify the dependency in the root build file without having to specify in the build.gradle file of each sub-project?

You need to tell gradle from which repository it can download your dependency. To achieve this, you need to add a repositories section to your build script.

To use Maven Central, for instance, you need to add the following lines to your to root build.gradle:

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

See here and here in the Gradle user guide for a more detailed description.
