Put jar file to cache manually

I personally dislike both of these suggestions (flatdir or FileCollection) and instead prefer a local repository using the maven style directory layout.

Eg:

repositories {
   maven {
      url file('/path/to/local/maven/repo') 
    } 
}

Using a maven style layout you can still support:

  • proper dependency resolution
  • transitive dependencies by including a pom
  • source & javadoc artifacts (useful in your IDE)
  • seamless switch to a remote repository in future
