how to tell gradle to download all the source jars

Question

Ideally, we would like to add a task for downloading all the source jars for the first level and transitive dependencies of our project. Is there a way to do that?

Answer 1

The eclipse task can be configured with downloadSources. Following is an example of that configuration

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'eclipse'

eclipse {
    classpath {
       downloadSources=true
    }
}

So run

gradle cleanEclipse eclipse

to have it download sources.
