Use the buildscript block and define dependencies of your build script there.
e.g.
buildscript {
repositories { mavenCentral() }
dependencies { classpath group: "sshtools", name: "j2ssh-core", version:
"0.2.9" }
}
See Gradle’s DSL reference docs
http://gradle.org/docs/current/dsl/org.gradle.api.Project.html#org.gradle.api.Project:buildscript(groovy.lang.Closure)
Also, unrelated to Gradle, have you looked into tools like
Puppet<http://puppetlabs.com/puppet/what-is-puppet/> or
Chef<http://www.opscode.com/chef/> for maintaining services on a remote server?
Is that overkill for your use-case?

Subject: [gradle-user] Noob needing help to define dependencies for build-time
Hi,
My build script does not compile anything,it is just meant to start and stop
tomcat on a remote server.
I have been looking at out-of-the-box solutions for this, and found none. My
server has a sudoer list, so I can't ssh as root. Combined with the
impossibility to change sudoer policy to create password-less sodoers,
disqualifies sshexec.
Anyway, I have developed a class that does the job, by opening an interactive
SSH session, with a pseudo terminal.
I use the sshtools j2ssh library to do this.
Now, I don't know how I can develop a plugin for this, but I thought I'd just
drop my class in build.gradle for now, and see how that would work. The problem
is that my script would not compile, because my classes depend on j2ssh.
How can I fix this?
Thanks for helping an newbie
