Is it possible to serve top-level buildscript dependencies using Artifactory?

Here is a sample top-level build.gradle configured with Artifactory:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        google()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath "org.jfrog.buildinfo:build-info-extractor-gradle:x.x.x"
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:x.x.x'
    }
}
allprojects {
    apply plugin: 'com.jfrog.artifactory'
}
artifactory {
    contextUrl = "${artifactory_contextUrl}"
    //... standard artifactory plugin auto-generated from web interface
}

I would like com.android.tools.build:gradle:x.x.x and to be served from an Artifactory remote, rather than from jcenter or the Google Maven Repository since these are blocked by a hostile workplace proxy.

However, it seems that the artifactory Gradle plugin is only available after the buildscript closure has been applied. How can I get the other buildscript dependencies to be served from Artifactory?

You can make simple Maven remote repositories to serve the buildscript dependencies. Since these remote repositories simply mirror the public repositories, you can make the access anonymous. This means that at the time for executing the buildscript closure, there is no need for configuring artifactory_user and artifactory_contextUrl.

A sample build.gradle would look something like this:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven {
            url "http:///example.com:8082/artifactory/list/jcenter/"
        }
        maven {
            url "http://example.com:8082/artifactory/list/google-remote/"
        }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath "org.jfrog.buildinfo:build-info-extractor-gradle:x.x.x"
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:x.x.x'
    }
}

where google-remote is the name (repository key) of the remote repository mirroring the Google Maven Repository you have configured yourself.

As for configuring the Artifactory remote for the Google Maven Repository itself, the address is simply maven.google.com as per the picture below:
