This leads to a question I've been wondering about: Is it possible or
reasonable to make the credentials closure lazy evaluated. Right now, it
executes the closure whether or not it's necessary to download artifacts.
I can imagine a scenario where you had a maven definition:
maven {
url 'foo.bar.com'
credentials {
username doSomeFancyLookup()
password doAnotherFancyLookup()
}
}
where the username and password properties could follow a resolution order. If
the properties were set in gradle.properties or init.gradle, use those. If a
console is available, use readPassword. If the jvm isn't headless, use Swing.
or any other credential looking you might think of.
This approach only makes sense if the properties are lazy-loaded though,
otherwise they get executed on every build.
