How to update Gradle dependencies from command line?

Question

I have following build.gradle file:

apply plugin: 'java' apply plugin: 'eclipse'  sourceCompatibility = 1.7 version = '1.0'  repositories {     mavenCentral() }  dependencies {     compile 'org.springframework:spring-core:4.1.1.RELEASE'     compile 'org.springframework:spring-context:4.1.1.RELEASE'     testCompile group: 'junit', name: 'junit', version: '4.+' } 

I run following command:

$ gradle --refresh-dependencies 

But it does nothing. The dependencies do not get updated and do not reflect on classpath. The output from command is:

:help  Welcome to Gradle 2.1.  To run a build, run gradle <task> ...  To see a list of available tasks, run gradle tasks  To see a list of command-line options, run gradle --help  BUILD SUCCESSFUL  Total time: 5.999 secs 

Doing this via Eclipse gradle plugin is working though.

Answer 1

gradle --refresh-dependencies <task>
