Why ear is not copying files into lib folder?

Hi guys.
I recently started using gradle, I am trying to build ear file out of 2 war file and 1 jar file.
So I want following files structure to be generated:
EAR/
|----lib
| -------all-lib-files
|----META-INF
|-------config files
|-web1.war
|-web2.war

So far I am getting very close besides there is lib folder generated at all.

Here is my gradle file:

apply plugin: 'ear'
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'idea'
subprojects {
    apply plugin: 'idea'
    apply plugin: 'java'
    group = 'org.sece'
    version = '1.0'
    sourceCompatibility = 1.8
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        testCompile "junit:junit:4.12"
    }
}

dependencies {
    deploy project(path: ':Admin', configuration: 'archives')
    deploy project(path: ':CustomerUI', configuration: 'archives')
    deploy project(path: ':Core', configuration: 'compile')

    compile 'org.springframework:spring-context:4.2.4.RELEASE'
    compile 'org.springframework:spring-webmvc:4.2.4.RELEASE'
    compile 'org.springframework.security:spring-security-web:4.0.3.RELEASE'
    compile 'org.springframework:spring-tx:4.2.4.RELEASE'
    compile 'org.slf4j:slf4j-api:1.7.13'
    compile 'ch.qos.logback:logback-classic:1.1.3'
    compile 'org.hibernate:hibernate-core:5.0.6.Final'
    compile 'org.hibernate:hibernate-entitymanager:5.0.6.Final'
    compile 'org.hibernate.javax.persistence:hibernate-jpa-2.1-api:1.0.0.Final'
}

ear {
    libDirName 'APP-INF/lib'
    deploymentDescriptor {  // custom entries for application.xml:
        applicationName = "sece"
        initializeInOrder = true
        description = "Sece"
        withXml { provider -> // add a custom node to the XML
            //provider.asNode().appendNode("data-source", "my/data/source")
        }
    }
}

Why ear task is not copying dependencies into lib folder?

Thanks

figured out, forgot to set up repository.

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

was missing piece
