You can try reusing your local Maven repository for Gradle:

• Install the jar into your local Maven repository:

  mvn install:install-file -Dfile=utility.jar -DgroupId=com.company -DartifactId=utility -Dversion=0.0.1 -Dpackaging=jar

• Check that you have the jar installed into your ~/.m2/ local Maven repository

• Enable your local Maven repository in your build.gradle file:

  repositories {
    mavenCentral()  
    mavenLocal()  
  }
  
  dependencies {  
    implementation ("com.company:utility:0.0.1")  
  }
  

  • Now you should have the jar enabled for implementation in your project
