The property all has been removed now ,So you can do it as:

   task "create-dirs" {
        def defaultPackage = "org.akash.gradle";
        ['java', 'groovy', 'resources'].each { String dir ->
           sourceSets*."$dir".srcDirs*.each { dir1 ->
             def newDir = new File(dir1, defaultPackage);
             newDir.mkdirs();
           }
        }
   }
