title: When and how does gradle resolve its dependencies?
body: <p>I'm trying to re-write our build to Gradle, but we want to keep the dependency management in Ivy, for internal reasons.</p>
  
  <p>So while trying to do that, I'm having several questions regarding the way gradle handles its dependencies:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>When does gradle resolve dependencies (without Ivy or anything)?</li>
  <li>When adding IvySettings and ivy.xml, do I need to call something similar to ant's ivy:resolve or ivy:configure, or does Gradle take care of that? If so, when and how?</li>
  </ol>
