Gradle - Java Project - Generic For Loop

Question

I have a very simple generic for loop that is causing problems when I attempt to build the project using gradle:

for(TaskAttribute taskAttribute:task.getAttributes())
{
...
}

Task.java

protected final Set<TaskAttribute> attributes = new HashSet<TaskAttribute>();

public Set<TaskAttribute> getAttributes(){return(attributes);}

The error I am getting is that the for loop is getting Object, but requries TaskAttribute. I have my sourceCompatibility set to 1.6. Am I missing something else?

In groovy you can do for loops one of two ways.

task forLoopTest {
    // print numbers 8 to 19 inclusive
    for (x in 8..19) {
    println 'this is run '+x
    }

    // print numbers 0 to 4 
    println 'now some groovy'
    for(int i = 0;i<5;i++) {
        println i
    }
}

Run on CLI:

$ gradle forLoopTest

This should out put.

this is run 8
this is run 9
this is run 10
this is run 11
this is run 12
this is run 13
this is run 14
this is run 15
this is run 16
this is run 17
this is run 18
this is run 19
