Gradle report generation

Help/Discuss
1

I am looking to generate a dependency report similar to what maven site does. I have looked into gradle dependency report but it does not include the local jar files [compile file(‘some.jar’)]. I am able to generate a list of all the jars using a separate task. I need to get it into something publishable so that dependency versions can be easily checked for latest versions. Below is the relevant gradle configuration that I am working with.

//Prints to screen the information that I need in a dependency type report
task listJars {
doLast {
configurations.compile.each { File file -> println file.name }
}
}

//Works for aar but not for jars
dependencyReport {
projects = project.allprojects
}

//Current dependency list
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:24.2.1’
compile files(‘libs/arcgis-android-api.jar’)
compile files(‘libs/arcgis-android-app-toolkit.jar’)
compile files(‘libs/commons-net-3.3.jar’)
