How to add external jar files in gradle project inside the netbeans

Question

I have created the Gradle web app which is running inside the NetBeans. Now I want to add some external jar files in it so how can I add the jar from NetBeans.

Answer 1

Modify your Gradle project to add your dependency and refresh it in NetBeans to pick up the changes. There is plenty of documentation how to do it. For example How to add local .jar file dependency to build.gradle file?

Answer 2

If you really need to take that .jar from a local directory,

Add next to your module gradle (Not the app gradle file):

repositories {
   flatDir {
       dirs 'libs'
   }
}


dependencies {
   compile name: 'gson-2.2.4'
}
