Hi Rene, and thanks for the reply. What you said here: "with these informations you can resolve your artifact from a common maven repository"
Are you saying that I need to understand maven before I can understand how to setup gradle? And that I need to have some sort of "common maven repository" to do this? I am coming from ant, not maven. Or can I not perhaps set it up like any other custom ant task? (which would seem perhaps much easier ... ) ??
