How to manually download ideaIC sdk in gradle build task?

Answered

Unfortunately, since I have a very slow network, when I build an intellij-plugin for the first time, it takes me hours to download the ideaIC sdk (e.g. in following picture, the ideaIC-212.3116-EAP-CANDIDATE-SNAPSHOT.zip), and the download fails easily T_T. But using chrome, I can download it a lot easier (In fact I've already downloaded it this way) , so is there any way to help me:

during "./gradlew build", do not download that zip, but use my local downloaded one.

Do I need to modify my build.gradle script? I've tried somehow, but not worked.

Xiarui Xr, it is possible to use the manually downloaded archive – you'll need to put it into the proper location:

Let's assume we'll work with ideaIC-212.3116-EAP-CANDIDATE-SNAPSHOT.zip
Create base directory for your dependency: ~/.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/com.jetbrains.intellij.idea/ideaIC/212.3116-EAP-CANDIDATE-SNAPSHOT/
Calculate the SHA hash, i.e. with shasum ideaIC-212.3116-EAP-CANDIDATE-SNAPSHOT.zip – it will give: f86e416ceecaf64be9309591fffe0ad60c43d486
Create a subdirectory called f86e416ceecaf64be9309591fffe0ad60c43d486, so it'd be:
~/.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/com.jetbrains.intellij.idea/ideaIC/212.3116-EAP-CANDIDATE-SNAPSHOT/f86e416ceecaf64be9309591fffe0ad60c43d486/
Put ZIP file in there and extract, so it's content would be located in: ~/.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/com.jetbrains.intellij.idea/ideaIC/212.3116-EAP-CANDIDATE-SNAPSHOT/f86e416ceecaf64be9309591fffe0ad60c43d486/ideaIC-212.3116-EAP-CANDIDATE-SNAPSHOT/...

Create a POM file called: ideaIC-212.3116-EAP-CANDIDATE-SNAPSHOT.pom with the following content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <groupId>com.jetbrains.intellij.idea</groupId>
    <artifactId>ideaIC</artifactId>
    <version>212.3116-EAP-CANDIDATE-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <packaging>zip</packaging>
</project>

Calculate SHA hash of that file -> 1010e4a4190631bec8fbabd5c07a93cf358c210
Create a subdirectory and put POM in there: ....../1010e4a4190631bec8fbabd5c07a93cf358c210/ideaIC-212.3116-EAP-CANDIDATE-SNAPSHOT.pom

That should do the job.
