FlatDirectoryArtifactRepository (Gradle API 8.11)

All Superinterfaces:

ArtifactRepository
```
public interface FlatDirectoryArtifactRepository
extends ArtifactRepository
```
A repository that looks into a number of directories for artifacts. The artifacts are expected to be located in the root of the specified directories. The repository ignores any group/organization information specified in the dependency section of your build script. If you only use this kind of resolver you can specify your dependencies like :junit:4.8.1 instead of junit:junit:4.8.1.
To resolve a dependency, this resolver looks for one of the following files. It will return the first match it finds:
- [artifact]-[version].[ext]
- [artifact]-[version]-[classifier].[ext]
- [artifact].[ext]
- [artifact]-[classifier].[ext]
So, for example, to resolve :junit:junit:4.8.1, this repository will look for junit-4.8.1.jar and then junit.jar.
