Reading a maven settings.xml when building with gradle?

Question

I have a maven settings.xml located in:

 /home/u123/.m2/settings.xml

where I specify a remote maven repository:

Answer 1

gradle-maven-settings-plugin works for me (at least in my Windows environment)

One should add

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven {
            url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/"
        }
    }
}

plugins {
    id 'net.linguica.maven-settings' version '0.5'
}

to the build.gradle and then can add repository like this:

repositories {
    maven {
        name = 'myRepo' // should match myRepo of appropriate  in Maven's settings.xml
        url = 'https://intranet.foo.org/repo'
    }
}

which will use myRepo credentials from the Maven's settings.xml to access the https://intranet.foo.org/repo repository
