Include local javadoc with gradle

The simplest way to achieve this is layout the jars in a maven style directory layout.

Eg:

mavenRepo/group/PickRandomStudent/1.0/PickRandomStudent-1.0-javadoc.jar
mavenRepo/group/PickRandomStudent/1.0/PickRandomStudent-1.0-sources.jar
mavenRepo/group/PickRandomStudent/1.0/PickRandomStudent-1.0.jar

You can then reference the dependency in your build

repositories {
   maven {
      url file('mavenRepo') 
    } 
} 
dependencies {
   compile 'group:PickRandomStudent:1.0'
}

This has the added benefit that the jars can now properly participate in Gradle’s dependency resolution process
