**Here is my build Script:**  
plugins {  
id “com.lv.weblogic” version “0.4”  
}

version ‘1.0-SNAPSHOT’

apply plugin: ‘java’

sourceCompatibility = 1.8

//Define module directories  
def weblogicDir = "Velocity-Weblogic"  
def coreDir = "Velocity-Core"  
def commandDir = "Velocity-Command"  
def integrationDir = "Velocity-Integration"  
def pasDir = "Velocity-PAS"  
def pasFusionDir = "Velocity-PASFusion"  
def webDir = “Velocity-Web”

repositories {  
jcenter()  
}

dependencies {  
compile fileTree(dir: ‘lib’, include: [’**/\*.jar’])  
//runtime fileTree(dir: ‘lib’, include: [’**/\*.jar’])  
testCompile group: ‘junit’, name: ‘junit’, version: ‘4.12’  
}

sourceSets {  
main {  
java{  
srcDirs = ["$coreDir/src/main/java"]  
}

```
    resources {
        srcDirs = ["$coreDir/src/main/resources"]
    }
}

test {
    java {
        srcDirs = ["$coreDir/src/test/java"]
    }
    resources {
        srcDirs = ["$coreDir/src/test/resources"]
    }
}

```

}

compileJava {  
options.encoding = "UTF-8"  
options.verbose = true  
options.debug = true  
}

[//ant.importBuild](https://ant.importBuild) ‘build.xml’

task findSrcPath{  
println(sourceSets.main.java.srcDirs)  
}

**The Error is below:**

I’d like to use the ‘lib’ I already have instead of repository. Please help me out.

Thanks
