How to install artifacts into the local gradle filestore

Question

Can anyone tell me how to install an artifact/project into the local gradle filestore?

gradle install

installs it to the local maven repository but I need to have it in

~/.gradle/caches/artifacts-15/filestore

Answer 1

It's a pure cache, and you can't install into it (by design). If you could, reproducibility would suffer (build works on one machine but not on another).

Answer 2

If you install it to your local maven repository and refer to the repository in you gradle build file, you will have solved your problem.

EDIT: You don't even have to install the jar into your maven repo:
