Add repository from Gradle plugin

Question

I am writing a Gradle plugin, and I would like it to add repositories to the project.

How can I do so?

Answer 1

Inside the apply method of your Plugin<Project> class, add the following:

• for Maven Central: project.repositories.mavenCentral()
• for Google Maven: project.repositories.maven()

More generally, call any function that you would place in the repositories section of your build script from project.repositories.

You can find entire list of such functions here: https://docs.gradle.org/current/dsl/org.gradle.api.artifacts.dsl.RepositoryHandler.html
