The Problem

In a recent project, I have to do Gradle build on a CI server in a very constrained environment. The constraints are:

• NO Internet connection
• NO Gradle installed
• NO local Maven repo

The obvious problem that these constraints cause is that the project can’t build because:

• Gradle is not installed
• Can’t get dependencies

The Solution

This solution will achieve the following:

1. Use Gradle to build
2. Use Gradle to manage dependencies

Let’s solve the problem step by step.
