No you definitely needn't understand the whole maven hell before setting
up your gradle setup. But Gradle adopted some concepts which are are
orginally invented by maven.
One of these concepts is the unique identification of an artifact. As I
told you, take a look at chapter 32 of the gradle userguide.

No you are not forced to use a maven repository, you can still use
references to a local directory as you did it with ant I suppose. But
it's defnitely worth to take a look on later on ;-).

You can change the provided example to use plain jar files from a lib
directory. It should look like this:
-----------
repositories {
flatDir name: 'localRepository', dirs: 'libs'
}
configurations {
ftpAntTask
}
dependencies {
ftpAntTask ":ant-commons-net:1.7.0"
ftpAntTask ":commons-net:1.4.0"
}
task ftp << {
ant {
taskdef(name: 'ftp',
classname: 'org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.net.FTP',
classpath: configurations.ftpAntTask.asPath)
ftp(server: "ftp.apache.org", userid: "anonymous", password:
"[email protected]") {
fileset(dir: "htdocs/manual")
}
}
}
-----------
The example above assumes, that you have the files
ant-commons-net-1.7.0.jar and commons-net-1.4.0.jar in the libs
directory of the project.
Gradle needs to know where your thirdparty libs are located. The
repository closure contains a defnition of a flat directory (the libs
folder in your project) to be used by gradle.
After that you define the needed dependencies in the dependencies
closure. The String ":ant-commons-net:1.7.0" referes to an artifact with
the name "ant-commons-net" with the version "1.7.0" As a default, gradle
now looks for a file with the pattern "[name]-[version].jar" in your
libs folder and adds this to the ftpAntTask configuration.
I hope this helps.
