Question

How would I copy dependencies to somewhere in the project folder with Gradle?

I’ve setup SBT to do this, but I’m not sure about Gradle

Answer 1

Your use case makes a big impact on the ways you could do this. But, answering generically you could do something like the following to copy from a collection to a directory.

task copyDeps(type: Copy) {
    from configurations.runtime
    into "${buildDir}/deps"
}

Tweak to meet your use case. If you are trying to create a Java application take a look at the application plugin.
