Incompatibility between some android libraries and google play services

Question

I use the following libraries in build.gradle (app), and there some libraries in libs folder such as: "Arcgis SDK and ksoap2 and gcm.jar" in android-studio project, when I builds it, causes the following error:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:dexDebug'. com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_66\bin\java.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 1

this is the build.gradle (app):

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 'Google Inc.:Google APIs:23'
    buildToolsVersion '23.0.2'

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.eywa.paltrack"
        minSdkVersion 16
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        multiDexEnabled true
   }
   buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
   }
   packagingOptions {
        exclude 'META-INF/LGPL2.1'
        exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE'
        exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE'

   }

}

dependencies {
     compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
     testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
     compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
     compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.1'
     compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.3.0'

}

And when I remove (Arcgis SDK) or (com.android.support:design) or (com.google.android.gms:play-services) when I remove one of them the project builds successfully. and I need all of them. can you help me about this problem?

Regarding the described error in your comments:

"java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded Error:Execution failed for task ':app:dexDebug'. > com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_66\bin\java.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 3 "

Add this section to the android-section in your build.gradle:

android {

   dexOptions {
     javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
   }

We are facing the problem, after updating to gradle-plugin 1.5.0. This solved our problem.
