 Description   

Hans mentioned this is already planned for 1.0 M1, but putting an issue in just to track it.

Often a repository will be added to a gradle configuration to resolve just one artifact in the build. It would be nice to specify that repository inline with the dependency that needs it. This adds clarity for everyone involved, and should shorten build times because Ivy will not have to query that repository for every other dependency.

This is important with regard to the discussion Hans and I had about plugins (and declaring which repository a plugin jar comes from)

Further discussion was had on the forum: http://forums.gradle.org/gradle/topics/force_dependency_to_be_resolved_against_a_specific_set_of_repository

I also struggle with mixing dependencies with repositories. We're forced to deal with this because it's common for plugins to create their own configuration and add their dependencies (e.g. findbugs plugin), which forces me to either mirror their dependencies in my internal repo or expose Maven Central for all dependencies. For our scenario, exposing Maven Central is a no-go, so we end up manually adding dependencies to our internal repo as plugins use them. Of course the don't ever document these and I have to deal with all their transitive dependencies too. Just isolating configurations to certain repositories would solve the problem for me.

Bumping this: is there any plan to support this in future versions, or does a workaround exist?

Just ran into a problem with maven trying to find a snapshot dependency supposed to be built locally from a snapshot repo, which is configured to take some other snapshot artifacts - I really want to be specific when I configure a snapshot repo!

Then I hoped to find the answer in Gradle - but alas, not yet!

This feature could be yet another nice differentiator of Gradle from Maven. Please consider it.
