Maybe addOfficialMavenRepo() would be even clearer. OK, this slant on the semantics hidden behind the name begins to work for me. Perhaps the outcome of this exchange is that the documentation should push the line: addMavenRepo is a method for adding a Maven structure repository to the dependency search list with a default location of http://repo1.maven.org. The search strategy is not amended, it just adds a new source of material for dependency resolution.

I guess I need to find out where Gradle sits on all this. As soon as Gradle can upload jars to the Maven repository adding a POM generated from the build.gradle file information so that I can delete the pom.xml then I will be in a position not to use Maven at all :-) -- Russel. ==================================================== Dr Russel Winder Partner Concertant LLP t: +44 20 7585 2200, +44 20 7193 9203 41 Buckmaster Road, f: +44 8700 516 084 London SW11 1EN, UK. m: +44 7770 465 077
