# Bug Report
## Problem
Since cordova-android `9.0.0` it is impossible for us to build our projects
without having to edit the output of the `cordova create` stage. This is due to
newly introduced dependencies in the `CordovaLib/cordova.gradle` script plugin,
which cannot be overwritten using regular means (such as an `init.gradle`
script). This means that dependency resolution will _always_ default to
`jcenter()`, which requires an internet connection, which we don't have for
good reason.
### What is expected to happen?
`cordova build` should be possible without an open internet connection.
### What does actually happen?
```
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

## Information
The `CordovaLib/cordova.gradle` script plugin is called here:
https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/blob/9.0.0/bin/templates/project/app/build.gradle#L28
Since cordova-android `9.0.0` this script plugin contains newly introduced
dependencies (and repository definitions). See
https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/blob/9.0.0/framework/cordova.gradle#L197-L205
I'm not a Gralde expert, but after about 2 days of reading and
experimenting, I am convinced that "script plugins" do _not_ receive the same
treatment as projects. They can _not_ be affected by regular means (from an
`init.gradle` script for instance), such as:
```
allprojects {
buildscript.repositories ...
repositories ...
}
```
Probably related to:

https://discuss.gradle.org/t/gradle-properties-are-not-available-when-applying-external-script-in-buildscript/8678
-
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37285413/how-can-the-gradle-plugin-repository-be-changed#comment100408703_53269116
We rely on this _heavily_, due to our workstations and build-servers _not_
having any direct internet-connections.
To give you some idea. This is the `/home/jenkins/.gradle/init.gradle` file
we use on our build servers:
```
apply plugin: CorpGradleRepositoryPlugin
class CorpGradleRepositoryPlugin implements Plugin<Gradle> {
final Closure RemoveUnapprovedRepos = { thing ->
// Remove all repositories not pointing to *.internal.corp urls
all { ArtifactRepository repo ->
if (repo instanceof MavenArtifactRepository
&& !repo.url.toString().contains("internal.corp")
&& !repo.url.toString().contains("m2repository")) {
remove repo
}
}
}
final Closure ApprovedRepos = {
maven {
url "https://nexus.internal.corp/nexus/repository/maven-public";
}
jcenter {
url "https://nexus.internal.corp/nexus/repository/jcenter";
}
}
void apply(Gradle gradle) {
gradle.allprojects { project ->
project.buildscript.repositories RemoveUnapprovedRepos
project.buildscript.repositories ApprovedRepos
project.repositories RemoveUnapprovedRepos
project.repositories ApprovedRepos
}
gradle.settingsEvaluated { settings ->
settings.pluginManagement {
repositories RemoveUnapprovedRepos
repositories ApprovedRepos
}
}
}
}
```
