Before downloading, you must ensure your build.gradle is configured to point to your Artifactory instance. This is typically done in the repositories block.
: Always append @zip to your dependency string to avoid Gradle searching for a .jar by default. gradle download zip from artifactory
configurations { zipArtifact } dependencies { // Specify @zip or ext: 'zip' to target the correct file type zipArtifact "com.example:my-resources:1.0.0@zip" } Use code with caution. 3. Extract or Copy the Downloaded ZIP Before downloading, you must ensure your build
: Store your Artifactory credentials in gradle.properties or environment variables rather than hardcoding them in the build script. configurations { zipArtifact } dependencies { // Specify
plugins { id "de.undercouch.download" version "5.4.0" } task downloadZipFile(type: Download) { src 'https://example.com' dest new File(buildDir, 'my-file.zip') overwrite false } Use code with caution. Summary of Best Practices
First, create a custom to isolate the ZIP file from your standard compile or runtime dependencies. This prevents Gradle from trying to add the ZIP to your classpath.
: If you need to download the Gradle distribution itself from Artifactory (e.g., for air-gapped environments), update your gradle-wrapper.properties with a custom distributionUrl pointing to your Artifactory repo. Uploading and downloading ZIP file from Artifactory
