Gradle build file which gets dependencies into a local 'runtime' directory (in order to calculate dependencies footprint - for hibernate-core in the example)

build.gradle

apply plugin: 'java'

dependencies {
	runtime group: 'org.hibernate',  name: 'hibernate-core', version: '4.3.8.Final'	
}

configurations {
	runtime.exclude group: 'xml-apis', module: 'xml-apis'
	runtime.exclude group: 'org.hibernate.javax.persistence', module: 'hibernate-jpa-2.1-api'
}

repositories { mavenCentral() }

task getDeps(type: Copy) {
	from sourceSets.main.runtimeClasspath
	into 'runtime/'
}
