To use a local path in a Gradle build, you can use the file()
method to specify the path to the local file or directory.
For example, to include a local JAR file in your project's dependencies, you can use the file()
method in the dependencies
block:
dependencies { implementation file('lib/mylibrary.jar') }
You can also use the file()
method to specify a local directory as the destination for a task, such as the copy
task:
task copyFiles(type: Copy) { from 'src/main/resources' into file('build/resources') }
In this example, the copyFiles
task will copy the files from the src/main/resources
directory to the build/resources
directory on the local file system.
Note that when using the file()
method, the path is relative to the root directory of the project. If you want to specify an absolute path, you can use the File
class instead:
dependencies { implementation new File('/path/to/mylibrary.jar') }
For more information about using local paths in Gradle, you can refer to the Gradle documentation.
