Getting all files of an artifact from maven repository

Question

Our organization works in an isolated network so when we want to use libraries we need to retrieve them from maven-central and upload then to our own maven repository.

I am searching for way do download all the files of my required dependencies, I have used gradle gradle eclipseClasspath to do this but it is not downloading all the files. for example org.jacoco:jacoco:0.7.8 contains a zip file and when I look in the GRADLE_USER_HOME I can not find the zip.

build.gradle:

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'eclipse'
repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
    compile 'org.jacoco:jacoco:0.7.8'
}

What should I do?

Simply use a repository manager and let a build run and all of your needed artifacts have been downloaded into your repository manager. That's it? — khmarbaise, Dec 16 '16 at 12:44
@khmarbaise what is this repository manager, can you give me an example? — Ido Sorozon, Dec 17 '16 at 16:02
Take a look here: https://maven.apache.org/repository-management.html — khmarbaise, Dec 17 '16 at 22:47
I don't understand, we need to download the artifacts so we could upload them to out isolated repository manager(nexus), Do you suggest I use a repository manager to download the artifacts or something else? — Ido Sorozon, Dec 19 '16 at 10:13

You could use this gradle task to download the dependencies to a local directory.

See [here](http://stackoverflow.com/a/39981143/1089967) for downloading sources and javadocs (if available) for dependencies – lance-java Dec 19 '16 at 11:40
For my understanding `withArtifacts(JvmLibrary, SourcesArtifact)` is the way to download the sources, but how do I manage to download the zip which is not source nor javadoc, I have tried to use `withArtifacts(Component, Artifact)` but it does not seems to work – Ido Sorozon Dec 19 '16 at 12:32

I wanted a simple solution, for now I have made this ugly one https://github.com/idosu/scripts/blob/master/gradle/full-download-from-central.gradle

usage:

apply from: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/idosu/scripts/master/gradle/full-download-from-central.gradle'
dependencies {
    compile 'org.jacoco:jacoco:0.7.8'
}

windows: set GRADLE_USER_HOME=deps & gradle --no-daemon -b eclipseClasspath createRepo

shell: export GRADLE_USER_HOME=deps; gradle --no-daemon -b eclipseClasspath createRepo

The result will be in build/repo

A better way to do this is figuring out how eclipseClasspath resolves all the dependencies with all the parent poms. because using project.configurations.compile.resolvedConfiguration.lenientConfiguration.allModuleDependencies does not do the trick
