Gradle: retrieve only one of multiple published artifacts?

Question

I\'ve got an Ivy repository with multiple published artifacts, something like this:

/mygroup/mymodule/1.1.1/mymodule-1.1.1.jar
/mygroup/mymodule/1.1.1/mymodule-c         


        

Answer 1

Managed to find the appropriate line after a lot of trial and error:

compile ('mygroup:mymodule:1.1.1:client@jar')

I think it only works because the "client" is an extension of the module name (called a classifier apparently). If I'd had something named differently, I'm not sure how I'd have resolved it.

I found the example that gave me the clue here: http://scratchpad.pietschy.com/gradle/dependency_management.html

20.2.2.2. Artifact only notation An artifact only notation creates a module dependency which only downloads one artifact file. The notation for such a dependency follows the pattern: [group]:[artifact]:[version]@[extension] or [group]:[artifact]:[version]:[classifier]@[extension]. For example:

dependencies { compile "org.apache.ant:ant-junit:1.7.0@jar" }
