title: How to add a custom repository to gradle build file?
body: <p>I want to switch from maven to gradle.</p>
  
  <p>In the pom.xml file I have a custom repository:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;repositories&gt;
      &lt;repository&gt;
          &lt;id&gt;my_rep_name&lt;/id&gt;
          &lt;url&gt;http://*********&lt;/url&gt;
      &lt;/repository&gt;
  &lt;/repositories&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It's a simple http web server with .jar files.</p>
  
  <p>How can I add this custom repo to the build.gradle?</p>
  
  <p>I tried this code, but it does not work:</p>
  
  <pre><code>repositories {
      mavenCentral()
      maven {
          url 'http://******'
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My custom repo is not a maven repo, but I did not find another examples in the Gradle documentation where I can specify the URL.</p>
