Greetings, Ant never had an automatic way to pull in dependencies (well, perhaps later versions of Ant did but I am ignorant of such updates). Maven and gradle, however, know how to query external repositories of information to pull in such dependencies.
Maven and gradle ALSO know that you should cache such artifacts locally as much as possible. In your case, you should publish any local artifacts to your local maven repository. (Look in the ~/.m2/repository/ directory structure to see what's cached.) -- Mark A.
