Automatically download sources in Gradle project

Question

In Maven projects, there is an option to automatically download sources (and javadoc) for all libraries. For Gradle project I found no option, just to open a class and click "Search in internet". This is very annoying if you have a lot of libraries. Is there any way to automatically attach sources from the internet (maven repo)?

Answer 1

I know that this is an old topic, but in case someone reaches here and does not want to gradle idea, you can also use a plugin and then it will resolve sources automatically.

e.g. both idea and eclipse compatible build.gradle

plugins {
  id "java"
  id "idea"
  id "eclipse"
}

idea {
  module {
    downloadSources = true
  }
}

eclipse {
  classpath {
    downloadSources = true
  }
}

dependencies {
  compile group: 'commons-io', name: 'commons-io', version: '2.6'
}
