Maven can only use a single local ("local" = on the harddisk of the computer on which Maven runs) repository.

If you need more, you're options are:

• Run a remote server (like a company wide proxy) and deploy everything there. Put that server as a mirror into your settings.xml.
• Run mvn install to copy the artifacts in your local repo (obviously only when you do have the sources)
• Run a local server
• Copy the artifacts manually into your local repo

I also needed to do a similar setup with my project and I can verify your build.gradle setup works provided your Maven is setup correctly.

Gradle's mavenLocal() relies on the localRepository definition from the maven settings.xml file:

  <localRepository>USER_HOME\.m2\repository</localRepository>

The settings.xml should be in either your M2_HOME/conf or your USER_HOME/.m2 directory. You should check:

1. maven is installed correctly
2. M2_HOME environment variable exists
3. settings.xml has the correct localRepository defined..
