How to use class from external Jar?

[Marc Guillemot]

Hi,

I couldn't find any documentation on how to use a class from a Jar file
that is *not* in my "normal" classpath.

I have for instance a property containing the path to the jar and I'd
like to define a local classpath with this jar and to use some classes
of this Jar. Is it possible?

Cheers,
Marc.

Where do you want to use the class? In your build file? a web app? a test?

Hi Adam,

sorry if it wasn't clear.

I want to use a class from an external jar in my gradle build file.

Cheers,
Marc.
