I want to load the dependency in the gradle task instead of being configuration stage (via beforeEvaluate) , is there any ways to load the dependency dynamically in the task ? i need to write my own one ?

Another question is about the dependency version. I want to get the exact 20140130.062809-1 version. How to mention in the dependency?

classpath “com.abc:plugin:2.0.3-20140130.062809-1” ? \<-- it fails

plugin-2.0.3-20140130.062809-1.jar

I don’t understand the first question. To answer the second question, I don’t think it’s currently possible to resolve a Maven snapshot dependency by its unique version.

My first question is to load the dependency dynmaically based on the argument of the task. When run the task, it reads the arguments and then load the dependency.

It’s impossible to add task dependencies in the execution phase.
