That "somewhere" has to be documented so people can go delete files in the event that the download created corrupted files, but you probably don't want it cleaned when you do a "./gradlew clean". I know it's feasible with Gradle (it's Groovy, so anything is doable), but it's not built-in; kind of a shame when you're bragging that you can adapt to any situation and use any kind of dependencies from file() to Maven and Ivy… just not plain HTTP URLs. Hopefully we can eventually sort it out and only use things that are deployed to a Maven repo (even if we need to deploy them ourselves), but that hinders the migration. Definitely not a blocker though. -- Thomas Broyer /tɔ.ma.bʁwa.je/ <http://xn--nna.ma.xn--bwa-xxb.je/> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GWT Contributors" group.
