[gradle-user] Ant -> Optional Tasks

[ales]

Hi all, I would like to use Ant optional tasks in the Gradle build. For example FTP. If I copy ant-optional.jar and NetComponents.jar into the directory GRADLE_HOME/lib directory it works fine but there is one disadvantage, in this case these libraries must be copied to all Gradle installations on other computers. It will be very helpful for me do something like this in the build.gradle: dependencies {     // automatically download optional tasks JAR and set it to classpath...     downloadDependencyAndSetToMainClassPath 'ant:ant-optional:1.5.3-1' } ... createTask('foo') {     // ...so it is possible to use FTP task later without manual installation     ant.ftp(server: 'ftp.foo.com', remotedir: 'www/foo', userid: 'foo.com', password: 'foo') {         fileset(dir: 'foo')     } } My look to documentation of the Gradle API does not give me any solution how to set this type of dependency and I am stuck. All attempts of setting dependency fails with Cause: the class org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.net.FTP was not found. Any ideas how to solve this issue?
