If you look at the ivy.xml of http://repository.springsource.com/ivy/bundles/milestone/org.springframework/org.springframework.web/3.0.0.M3/ivy-3.0.0.M3.xml
you can see that there are a number of custom configurations
defined. Each configuration specifies a set of jars published by this
project as well as the dependencies of those jars. If you look at the
publications element of the ivy.xml you find two entries. They don't
specify any particular configuration they belong to. This means this
project published two jars and they belong to every configuration. If
you look at the dependencies section you will see that different
dependencies belong to different configurations.

The 'default' configuration has a special meaning in ivy. If you
declare a dependency and don't specify a configuration for this
dependency, ivy uses the default configuration (in case you access a
pom.xml via Ivy, default corresponds to the runtime Maven scope). But
the particular Spring project above does not define a default
configuration. Therefore you need to choose which configuration you
want to use. You can do that by:

compile group: "org.springframework", name: "org.springframework.web",
version: "3.0.0.M3", configuration: "runtime"

You have to use the Gradle map notation if you want to specify
configurations.

In Ivy you can change the name of the default configuration. You can
even define a filter that a different default configuration shall be
used only for dependencies belonging to a certain group (aka
organization). In you case for example it would make sense to say, for
all spring dependencies use 'runtime' as the default configuration,
for the others use 'default'. But this is not offered by Gradle yet.
