I agree with all of Sczcepan's points. The more declarative the

MavenCentralRepo is better than OfficialMavenRepo, even though I once
suggested the latter. :-) Also I've always wondered why it's
mandatory to
specify a repository name, and what this name is used for (log
output?).
It is used for log output. It can also be used to get a reference
back for a resolver object.
I have thought about this a little bit more. There is the common
scenario where you use a resolver only for resolving dependencies. In
this case you shouldn't be required to pass a name. For log output
Gradle should be able to generate a good enough name automatically (if
this is not good enough, you can still specify it). If you use a
resolver for publishing, you might want to have a name. You can use
this name to associate the resolver with an upload task (but you can
also use a reference for this). So all in all, names should be
optional, which is an important requirement for the DSL, as some
syntaxes work only with required names.

Cool! Here is my feedback on the syntax.
1. Personally, I'd like to recommend 'declarative' style of naming.
Example:
'create', 'addMavenRepo' (old syntax), etc are not really
declarative
- they express operations.
But:
'dependencies', 'repositories', 'dependsOn', etc are declarative and
therefore consistent & very nice to read.
So instead of :
create('myRepoName').asOfficialMaven()
I'd vote for:
officialMaven() or repository('myRepoName').isOfficialMaven()
flatDir(...) or repository("libs").isFlatDir(...)
2. Skipping repo names if I don't need them would be cool as well
but
I have no idea what repercussions does it have.
3. I'd probably prefer 'mavenCentral' to 'officialMaven' because the
first one is very commonly used. Try google for 'official maven' and
'maven central' :)
This feedback is just my humble POV so use whatever you want from
it :)
Cheers,
Szczepan Faber
