title: How do I access (in gradle) an artifactory jar dependency that is not in a Maven or Ivy repo directory structure?
body: <p>Given an artifactory repo with the url:</p>
  
  <pre><code>http://myrepo.myworld.com/my-stuff
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>that contains a jar immediately at the root of the repo:</p>
  
  <pre><code>http://myrepo.myworld.com/my-stuff/doofus-lib-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>no metadata, no pom, no other files except for other versions of the jar, how do I write the <code>repositories</code> settings and the <code>dependencies</code> settings so that the jar is included in the build?</p>
  
  <p>Notes:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>This solution needs to be something that will build cleanly from a
  gradle command-line after the download of the git repo. It has to
  work in our CI/CD system.</p></li>
  <li><p>I know that I can download the jar, add it to my git repo, and add a
  <code>flatDir</code> config to my gradle <code>repositories</code>. I do not want to do
  this. I don't want to add a large binary file to my git repo.</p></li>
