Howto copy dependencies to project folder and link them to *.ipr/*.iml via idea plugin instead from sha1sum folders

Hello all,

is there a possibility to disable creation of sub folders with sha1sum of jar’s in gradle cache? Using jogl, gluegen and homemade jni-bindings to native dyn-libs via gluegen does not work as expected because native libs (using gluegen naming convention) are not found (and libs could not be loaded).

e.g.

obviously, because

I forgot to mention that this happens within IntelliJ. The problem might be caused by the idea-plugin. Does anybody know an option to copy the gradle-cached dependencies to a folder (e.g. libs) and add these copies to the generated *.ipr file instead?

repositories {
flatdir {
dirs ‘whatever’
}
}

would require to populate that directory manually which is not an option because the required libs are updated frequently

I’m looking for a solution either to bypass the ‘sha1sum’ folder names of the gradle cache or to copy (some) of the dependencies to such a flatdir and link those in idea-task automatically.

Thank you

Would it be possible to create a sub-project having dependencies on that libraries and a simple copy task?
The main project should then depend on that sub-project but with repositories{flatdir{…}} ???
But that’s just a work around - there should be a simpler solution.
