Cool! Here is my feedback on the syntax.
1. Personally, I'd like to recommend 'declarative' style of naming. Example:
'create', 'addMavenRepo' (old syntax), etc are not really declarative
- they express operations.
But:
'dependencies', 'repositories', 'dependsOn', etc are declarative and
therefore consistent & very nice to read.
So instead of :
create('myRepoName').asOfficialMaven()
I'd vote for:
officialMaven() or repository('myRepoName').isOfficialMaven()
flatDir(...) or repository("libs").isFlatDir(...)
2. Skipping repo names if I don't need them would be cool as well but
I have no idea what repercussions does it have.
3. I'd probably prefer 'mavenCentral' to 'officialMaven' because the
first one is very commonly used. Try google for 'official maven' and
'maven central' :)
This feedback is just my humble POV so use whatever you want from it :)
Cheers,
Szczepan Faber
