[gradle-user] Add dependency to javaws (Java Web Start)

[Trond Andersen]

I'm a beginner when it comes to Gradle. I would like to add a
providedCompile dependency towards Java Web Start (javaws.jar). Since I
didn't find any 'built-in' references to the JDK running Gradle, I tried the
following:
<pre>
java_home =System.env['JAVA_HOME'] + '\\jre\\lib'

dependencies {
  flatDir (name: 'jre library', dirs: java_home)

  providedCompile name:'javaws'
}
</pre>

I'm sure that I've got the correct value from System.env, but the flatDir
set up doesn't seem to like what I try to do. When I comment the dependency
reference and use the following task:

<pre>
task printProps << {
    println java_home
}
</pre>
It definitely prints the correct directory.

Should I use something else than flatDir? If so - what? If flatDir is the
way to go, what have I done wrong?
