How to force gradle to use/share ~/.m2/repository with Maven system wide? -

by default gradle uses ~/.gradle/cache cache maven artifacts.

i use maven , set proxy , repository urls in ~/.m2/settings.xml , don't want duplicate settings gradle.

official solution add:

repositories {   mavencentral()   mavenlocal()  # <== } 

to build.gradle. requires changing project build script , not acceptable.

is possible set setting system wide or outside of project (without editing project own files)?

i routinely want mavenlocal buildscript, need multi-module projects , need disable it, use in ~/.gradle/init.d/mavenlocal.gradle:

allprojects { project ->     buildscript {         if( !project.hasproperty('skipmavenlocal') ) {             repositories {                 println "adding buildscript mavenlocal()"                 mavenlocal()             }             configurations.all {                 resolutionstrategy.cachechangingmodulesfor 0, 'hours'             }         }     }      if( !project.hasproperty('skipmavenlocal') ) {         repositories {             println "adding mavenlocal()"             mavenlocal()         }     } }
