Refreshing Snapshot Dependencies in Eclipse with Gradle

Question

I'm using the Gradle STS plugin for Eclipse and it works fairly well.

Lately we've begun developing using Snapshots, and new snapshots are often released every hour or so.

When I use the 'Refresh All' option I want it to also call --refresh-dependencies so that new snapshots are resolved and downloaded when available.

Is there a particular hook that can be overridden to ensure that snapshots will be checked every time I call 'Refresh All' or 'Refresh Dependencies'?

Answer 1

I think this is covered in section 51.9.3 of the Gradle User Guide.

You could try:

configurations.MY_CONFIGURATION {
  resolutionStrategy {
    // don't cache changing modules at all
    cacheChangingModulesFor 0, 'seconds'
  }
}

Also see: the ResolutionStrategy docs.
