I’d say the easiest option would be to store your files in a maven-like folder hierarchy

$PATH/xxx/yyy/lib/1.0/lib-1.0.jar
$PATH/xxx/yyy/lib/1.0/lib-1.0-javadoc.jar
$PATH/xxx/yyy/lib/1.0/lib-1.0-sources.jar
$PATH/xxx/yyy/lib/1.0/lib-1.0.pom (not required but maven can generate this for you)

Then include it via

repositories {
   maven {
      url uri("$PATH")
   }
}
dependencies {
   compile 'xxx.yyy:lib:1.0'
}

If you want to script this process you might want to invoke the maven command line
