gradle无法识别maven的Classifiers属性

由于项目需要集成jenkins，千辛万苦的在github上找到了jenkins非官方的java api,

compile group: 'com.offbytwo.jenkins', name: 'jenkins-client', version: '0.3.7'

本来是一件非常高兴的事，没想到用gradle引入的时候，死活编译不通过，报以下的错误：

D:\daydao-code\dayhr-patchManager>gradle clean build -x test
:clean UP-TO-DATE
:compileJava FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Could not resolve all files for configuration ':compileClasspath'.
> Could not find json-lib.jar (net.sf.json-lib:json-lib:2.4).
  Searched in the following locations:
      http://nexus.dayhr.com/nexus/content/groups/public/net/sf/json-lib/json-lib/2.4/json-lib-2.4.jar

通过依赖分析才知道，jenkins的java client api依赖了一个比较老的json包

com.offbytwo.jenkins:jenkins-client:0.3.7

+--- com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-annotations:2.3.4 -> 2.6.5

+--- com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-core:2.3.4 -> 2.6.5

+--- com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind:2.3.4 -> 2.6.5 (*)

+--- dom4j:dom4j:1.6.1 (*)

+--- net.sf.json-lib:json-lib:2.4 (*)

+--- com.google.guava:guava:17.0 -> 19.0

+--- commons-lang:commons-lang:2.6

+--- commons-io:commons-io:2.4

+--- org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient:4.3.6 (*)

+--- jaxen:jaxen:1.1.6

+--- org.slf4j:slf4j-api:1.7.21

\--- xml-apis:xml-apis:1.4.01

在maven的pom依赖定义为

<dependency>

      <groupId>net.sf.json-lib</groupId>

      <artifactId>json-lib</artifactId>

      <classifier>jdk15</classifier>

</dependency>

详细的依赖信息可以参考 

http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/offbytwo/jenkins/jenkins-client/0.3.7/jenkins-client-0.3.7.pom

当时自家的私服是有这个jar包的，仔细比较发现是gradle没有解析出jdk15这个尾巴。

/net/sf/json-lib/json-lib/2.4/json-lib-2.4-jdk15.jar

通过查阅gradle bug中心，找了几个比较有代表的bug给大家看看

https://discuss.gradle.org/search?q=Classifiers

https://discuss.gradle.org/t/build-failure-when-4-1-0-of-net-java-dev-jna-jna-is-selected-in-place-of-3-3-0-due-to-change-in-artifacts-with-classifiers/9377

https://issues.gradle.org/browse/GRADLE-1934
https://issues.gradle.org/browse/GRADLE-67

看到有这么问题，我只能是说gradle毕竟还是太年轻了，没有maven的成熟。

经过这么一方折腾后，最后按maven的jar包管理的最原始依赖【system】，还果真在gradle中找到了类似的方法：

https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/dependency_management.html#sub:file_dependencies

大家可以详细的阅读下gradle依赖管理，懂maven的一看就能懂。

最终把依赖配置修改成如下配置，项目顺利编译通过。

compile (group: 'com.offbytwo.jenkins', name: 'jenkins-client', version: '0.3.7'){
    exclude group: 'net.sf.json-lib'
}
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')

当然不要忘了，在你的项目根目录下建立一个libs的目录，并且把json-lib-2.4-jdk15.jar下载到该目录。
