Apologies for answering so late.

I'm working on converting a mode for emacs that parses maven poms,

a classpath.
I'd like to do something very similar for gradle, but I haven't seen
how I can do this. I tried using "gradle --dependencies" but that
only lists the dependencies. I could try to re-construct the
classpath by guessing where the dependencies are, but some of the
dependencies are added using "flatDir". It doesn't looke like I can
tell where they are on the filesystem from the output of --
dependencies.
I tried also to run gradle with '--embedded':
gradle -e 'println "dependencies"' -r
I think the '--embedded' option is the most promising path, but I'm
having trouble coming up with something that will work. I've seen
references to 'configurations.myConfig.asPath' and
'dependencies.antpath("compile") 'on the mailing list, those look
promising but I they don't work(in the antpath case) or I'm confused
about their usage(the myConfig case).
What I'm looking for is something that will generate a classpath,
after resolving dependencies, similar to 'mvn dependency:build-
classpath'.
I guess Gradle 0.8 (to be released in September) will be your friend.
With Gradle 0.8 you can specify an user specific (e.g. emacs) init
script that can be used in conjunction with an existing build.gradle.
This init script could add a task to a gradle build at runtime. This
task could process the dependencies as it suits you. For example it
could send/write the value of configurations.runtime.asPath.
Also, how do you discover the properties and methods for groovy DSL
objects? I've looked at the groovy doc and javadoc but it seems
like there is something missing there: http://www.gradle.org/0.6.1/docs/groovydoc/org/gradle/api/internal/artifacts/dependencies/Dependencies.html
For example, is that the "dependencies" reference?
Yes.
