I ran into this same issue last week. If memory serves, the following steps should work around the issue:

1. Clone Samza 0.14.1 from github
2. Build Samza and run ./gradlew publishToMavenLocal to make the jars locally available
3. Back in the hello-samza project, replace all instances of 0.14.1-SNAPSHOT with 0.14.1 in gradle.properties , pom.xml , and deploy.sh
4. Build hello-samza normally
