Not yet, though we do want to support something like this. Possibly, we might
do this by allowing you to use a URL in a copy spec from statement:
copy {
from 'http://some-resource'
into 'build/tmp
}
Or, even more pervasively, allow a URL to be used to specify any input file:
checkStyle {
configFile 'http://some-resource'
}
processResources {
from('http://some-resource') {
expand(prop: value)
}
}
