Hey,

I'm trying to write a plugin for my own purposes. For this to work I need get the actual file system path of JAR files represented by a Dependency
object.

I can't find any obvious method in the JavaDoc.


There is no obvious method right now. We want to make the resolve API richer in our future releases.

If you don't mind getting into the guts of our dependency handling you could do the following:

import org.gradle.api.tasks.util.FileSet
import org.apache.ivy.core.resolve.ResolveOptions

... some declarations

init.doLast() {
   dependencies.dependencies.each {
       def resolveOptions = new ResolveOptions()
def resolveReport = dependencies.ivy.resolve (it.createDepencencyDescriptor().dependencyRevisionId,
           resolveOptions, false)
       println resolveReport.dependencies
   }
}

As part of the init task we resolve every single dependency and print out all of its dependencies. ResolveOptions and ResolveReport are Ivy classes. You might look in the Ivy JavaDoc or Ivy code for further details.

Such things should become more convenient in the future.

Please advise.

Thanks
