Flat Dir repositories

[OreoC]

Can't seem to find much doc on this (probably in the 200 pages of  
docs.. which are great docs.. I just can't find it hah)

I've successfully used maven repo's with my gradle builds.

Was curious, for a flatDir repository, is it looking for a local  
filesystem that is built up like maven (pom's etc)..

or what I see all the examples doing this:

repositories {
     flatDir name: 'localRepository', dirs: 'lib'
}

Is it just looking for jar files in a folder called lib?

I am guessing the maven/pom route, only because how could it then  
resolve spring 2.5.6 "intelligently" from a lib folder that just  
luckily had exactly the right jars to support the group/name/version  
for spring.

Thanks
Roger

As you assume it just looks for jars/wars/whatever in the 'lib' folder. It resolves versions by looking at the version number in the filename. for instance:

myveryownjar-1.2.0.jar

spring-2.5.6.jar

etc.

At least that is my experience. Maybe someone has a more detailed understanding.

Pretty much. For each dependency that you declare in the build script,
Gradle will look for a corresponding file in the 'lib' directory. For
example, for a dependency on 'junit:junit:4.7', Gradle would look for
lib/junit-4.7.jar or lib/junit.jar. It assumes there are no transitive
dependencies.

They can be used along with client modules, where the transitive
dependency info is provided in the build script:
http://gradle.org/0.8/docs/userguide/dependency_management.html#sub:client_module_dependencies
