- - ### Method Detail

    - #### public FlatDirectoryArtifactRepository flatDir(Map<String, ?> args)

      Adds a resolver that looks into a number of directories for artifacts. The artifacts are expected to be located in the root of the specified directories. The resolver ignores any group/organization information specified in the dependency section of your build script. If you only use this kind of resolver you might specify your dependencies like `":junit:4.4"` instead of `"junit:junit:4.4"`. The following parameter are accepted as keys for the map:

      Key | Description of Associated Value
      --- | ---
      `name` | (optional) The name of the repository. The default is a Hash value of the rootdir paths. The name is used in the console output, to point to information related to a particular repository. A name must be unique amongst a repository group.
      `dirs` | Specifies a list of rootDirs where to look for dependencies. These are evaluated as per Project.files

      Examples:

           repositories {
               flatDir name: 'libs', dirs: "$projectDir/libs"
               flatDir dirs: ["$projectDir/libs1", "$projectDir/libs2"]
           }

      throws:
        org.gradle.api.InvalidUserDataException In the case neither rootDir nor rootDirs is specified of if both are specified.
      Parameters:
        `args` - The arguments used to configure the repository.
      Returns:
        the added resolver

    - #### public FlatDirectoryArtifactRepository flatDir(groovy.lang.Closure configureClosure)

      Adds an configures a repository which will look for dependencies in a number of local directories.

      Parameters:
        `configureClosure` - The closure to execute to configure the repository.
      Returns:
        The repository.

    - #### public FlatDirectoryArtifactRepository flatDir(Action<? super FlatDirectoryArtifactRepository> action)

      Adds an configures a repository which will look for dependencies in a number of local directories.

      Parameters:
        `action` - The action to execute to configure the repository.

        The repository.

    - #### public IvyArtifactRepository ivy(groovy.lang.Closure closure)

      Adds and configures an Ivy repository. Newly created instance of `IvyArtifactRepository` is passed as an argument to the closure.

      Parameters:
        `closure` - The closure to use to configure the repository.
      Returns:
        The added repository.

    - #### public IvyArtifactRepository ivy(Action<? super IvyArtifactRepository> action)

      Adds and configures an Ivy repository.

      Parameters:
        `action` - The action to use to configure the repository.

        The added repository.

    - #### public MavenArtifactRepository jcenter(Action<? super MavenArtifactRepository> action)

      Adds a repository which looks in Bintray's JCenter repository for dependencies.

      The URL used to access this repository is "https://jcenter.bintray.com/". The behavior of this repository is otherwise the same as those added by maven(org.gradle.api.Action).

      Examples:

           repositories {
             jcenter {
               artifactUrls = ["http://www.mycompany.com/artifacts1", "http://www.mycompany.com/artifacts2"]
             }
             jcenter {
               name = "nonDefaultName"
               artifactUrls = ["http://www.mycompany.com/artifacts1"]
             }
           }

      Parameters:
        `action` - a configuration action
      Returns:
        the added repository

    - #### public MavenArtifactRepository jcenter()

      Adds a repository which looks in Bintray's JCenter repository for dependencies.

      The URL used to access this repository is "https://jcenter.bintray.com/". The behavior of this repository is otherwise the same as those added by maven(org.gradle.api.Action).

      Examples:

           repositories {
               jcenter()
           }

      Returns:

      Returns:
        The added repository.

    - #### public MavenArtifactRepository maven(Action<? super MavenArtifactRepository> action)

      Adds and configures a Maven repository.

      Parameters:

        Examples:

             repositories {
                 mavenCentral artifactUrls: ["http://www.mycompany.com/artifacts1", "http://www.mycompany.com/artifacts2"]

             repositories {
                 mavenLocal()
             }
