Once the client upgrades to workspace version "2.2.2" or higher, in order to override a third-party library he needs to be using "force: true" in their module "build.gradle".

This change was introduced when we upgraded to use Gradle 5 in the workspace. Here's a changelog of differences between Gradle 4.10.2 (Workspace 2.2.1) and 5.6.4(Workspace => 2.2.2). Also, we started publishing our own changelog for workspace. 

Example using 'force: true':

compileOnly group: "org.apache.poi", name: "poi", version: "3.9", force: true

Before this version, this wasn't needed.

We need to update the documentation regarding this change.
