I am using Artifactory to resolve all project dependencies. I have a multi-module project with several dependencies.
Gradle tries to look for sources and javadocs for each dependency listed in the build.gradle file during a build (not when setting up eclipse or idea project). This results in a very slow build since Artifactory can't find sources in the remote repositories.

There should be some configuration for not to look for sources and javadocs by default unless instructed. And why is the build looking up for sources and javadocs. Generally, it is done when you are setting up IDE projects.

Command used: gradle build -x test --stacktrace --debug

Snipplet from the build:
