Answer 1

After struggling of three hours got this solution: Add these lines into

packagingOptions {
    exclude 'error_prone/Annotations.gwt.xml'
    exclude 'third_party/java_src/error_prone/project/annotations/Annotations.gwt.xml'
    exclude 'third_party/java_src/error_prone/project/annotations/Google_internal.gwt.xml'
}

FINAL :

packagingOptions {
    exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES.txt'
    exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt'
    exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE.txt'
    exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE'
    exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE'
    exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES'
    exclude 'META-INF/notice.txt'
    exclude 'META-INF/license.txt'
    exclude 'META-INF/dependencies.txt'
    exclude 'META-INF/LGPL2.1'
    exclude 'META-INF/rxjava.properties'

    exclude 'error_prone/Annotations.gwt.xml'
    exclude 'third_party/java_src/error_prone/project/annotations/Annotations.gwt.xml'
    exclude 'third_party/java_src/error_prone/project/annotations/Google_internal.gwt.xml'
}
