Hi,

In Gradle, is there a simple way to have the features of the maven plugin "maven-dependency-plugin". I need the plugin goals "copy" and "unpack" and I
want to limit the part of Ant scripts.

Right. At the moment you have to do something like:

dependencies.testRuntime.resolve.each { depFile ->
        ant.copy(file: depFile, tofile: 'somePath)
}       

We could make this more convenient by some additional method in the configuration object. Something like resolveTo(dirName), or unpackTo(dirName). In general if we think our general purpose elements provide a sufficiently convenient solution we are reluctant to add weight to our API. But this looks like a common use case were it probably makes sense to make it more convenient. Thanks for pointing this out.

Could you file a Jira?

Thanks
