There are 2 levels of caching: module and artefact. We're planning to change how the module caching works, but not the artefact caching. So, if the module exists in a repository, nothing changes, whether the module has source or javadocs or not. If the module does not exist in any repository, the IDE tasks, and resolves in general, will be slower because we will go and check for a pom.xml, ivy.xml or jar. In return, you get an better chance of finding something. -- Adam Murdoch Gradle Co-founder http://www.gradle.org VP of Engineering, Gradleware Inc. - Gradle Training, Support, Consulting http://www.gradleware.com
