Just curious. One strong use case for remembering that a module was
missing was to speed up the IDE tasks, e.g. when there are no src or
javadoc jars. How would solving
http://issues.gradle.org/browse/GRADLE-2455 affect that?

I just talked about a strategy on solving this issue with Adam.
In general we will still keep the information that an artifact is not available in a repository in the cache. We just want to ignore the 'not-found' entry we had cached, if none of the repositories used in the build have cached 'found'. The idea is to model that as a CachePolicy.

Normal (no src or javadoc) dependencies that are not available in any repository is an edge case I think? Is looking up the src and the javadoc task the default in our IDE tasks or must it be activated? If it is the default, solving this issue as planned, can cause regression here I think.

cheers!
