Thanks for the input, Leo. I am in unfamiliar territory so I really
appreciate your perspective.
I want to set up the repository for the team/enterprise and I am starting
with the simplest build we have on my computer, going one step at a time.
I started by getting it running with all of my jars in the lib directory
of the project (they are currently that way in Subversion). Then I got it
running resolving the dependencies from public repositories with the
minimum set of dependencies that resolved everything, allowing me to
remove the jars from the lib directory.
Once I get that working the way I want - and this one jar is frustrating
me - I want to move it to an enterprise repository. I am running Apache
HTTP server locally to test accessing it through a URLResolver and that
seems to work fine. I figure that however I get it into the Ivy repository
on my computer is the way I would get it into Ivy on a repository server
(running Apache HTTP too I assume) for location and enterprise
accessibility.
What I want to end up with (I think) is a build that goes through a shared
repository for a location, then a shared repository for the enterprise. I
don't expect our builds to go against public repositories or allow anyone
outside of the company access to our repositories.
Getting this jar into a repository seems like it should be easy. I gather
by your response ("Wouldn't it be easier...") that it is not.(?)

Re: [gradle-user] Placing an arbitrary file into Ivy
Wouldn't it be easier to add the file to a lib folder in your repo and
just use it using a files(...) dependency like this:
dependencies {
runtime files('lib/jdbc-dependency.jar')
Maybe there's a better way but I don't see the benefit of putting it into
the Ivy repository as it will only be available on your computer, and just
as long as you don't clear the repository (or Ivy does it for you). There
might be a usecase for publishing someone elses artifacts to a central
repository if there's several people using that repository but otherwise
I'd not suggest doing it.

I am feeling rather dense. I am trying to place an arbitrary file - my
database vendor's JDBC driver jar - into an Ivy repository for use by
Gradle. (I am trying to replace an old Ant build without dependency
management with a Gradle build using Ivy.)
For the files I have that I can find in a public repository I am able to
get them into Gradle, and therefore into Ivy. I am doing this with the
following task after a successful build, which works whether it is good
practice or not - comments welcome.
task repoSetup(type: Copy) {
description = "Copy compile dependencies into Ivy repository"
from "${gradle.gradleUserHomeDir}/cache"
into "C:/ivy/repo"
}
I have the JDBC jar file supplied by my database vendor but I cannot find
it in a public repository out there. So how do I get it into the Ivy
repository, ideally with the organisation that I want? Is there some
documentation that I have overlooked on doing this sort of thing?
Thanks for any guidance.
