How do I migrate mavenRepo in Gradle 1.7 to maven in Gradle 1.9?

Question

In build scripts for Gradle 1.7, it's common to see

mavenRepo url: 'https://artifactory.example.com/repo'

However, after upgrading to Gradle 1.9, running gradle yields the following warning:

The RepositoryHandler.mavenRepo() method has been deprecated and is scheduled to be removed in Gradle 2.0. Please use the maven() method instead.

A quick look in the Gradle docs confirms that mavenRepo has been deprecated. How should I migrate from mavenRepo to maven.

Answer 1

The documentation for the Gradle DSL indicates that maven accepts a closure or an action. After some minutes of digging, I found an example that works as follows.

maven {
  url 'https://artifactory.example.com/repo'
}
