It seems that all artefacts have to be downloaded anew for every new version of Gradle even if the artefact had previously already been downloaded. This means Gradle is still maintaining independent per version repository caches. I had thought the intention was to move to the more Maven-like single copy of any artefact approach.
Maven is very DRY, Gradle seems to be violating this somewhat violently. And with the assumption of permanent connection to the Internet -- which is a bad assumption. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
