Gradle buildscript block

Gradle buildscript block

在build.gradle文件中有如下的配置，

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.google.protobuf:protobuf-gradle-plugin:0.6.1'
    }
}

但在buildscript block外面有时还需要repositories block，这是为什么呢？像这种，

repositories {
    mavenCentral();
}

The repositories in the buildscript block are used to fetch the dependencies of your buildScript dependencies. These are the dependencies that are put on the classpath of your build and that you can refer to from your build file. For instance extra plugins that exist on the internet.

The repositories on the root level are used to fetch the dependencies that your project depends on. So all the dependencies you need to compile your project.
