[gradle-user] Upload task improvement: auto-fill dependsOn() with configuration information?

[Steven Devijver]

Hey,

Right now there is a redundancy in the typical configuration of the Upload task:

task moduleJar(type: Jar) {
destinationDir = file('build/jar_for_module')
}
artifacts {
archives moduleJar
} 
task uploadArchives(type: Upload) {
dependsOn moduleJar
configuration = configurations.archives
repositories {
   flatDir(dirs: dist_dir)
}
}

There's the "archives moduleJar" call and the redundant "dependsOn moduleJar" 
call. Since the Upload task also requires the Configuration object, is it 
possible to automatically feed the dependsOn() method?

Thanks

Steven
