Need to be able to download POMs from more than one mavenRepo url.

• My build depends on A
• A depends on B depends on C
• A is in "inhouse" repo
• B and C are in "public" repo
• With this setup:

  repositories {
      mavenRepo urls: [
              "http://.../inhouse",  // contains A
              "http://.../public",   // contains B and C
      ]
  }
  

  I get A.jar and B.jar but not C.jar

  • Gradle doesn't know B's dependencies as it doesn't attempt to get B.pom from "public" repository.

• With this setup:

  repositories {
      mavenRepo urls: [
              "http://.../public",   // contains B and C
              "http://.../inhouse",  // contains A
      ]
  }
  

  I only get A.jar

  • Gradle doesn't know A's dependencies as it doesn't attempt to get A.pom from "inhouse" repository.

A workaround for now:

• Set the mavenRepo urls so that "public" is before "inhouse"
• Add B as a direct dependency in build.gradle (in addition to A)
• This allows B.jar and C.jar to be downloaded from "public"
• A.jar also gets downloaded from "inhouse" (the POM does not get downloaded)

Tried to find a better approach but could only see this explanation]:

"The first URL is used to look for POMs and JARs. The subsequent URLs are used to look for JARs."
