We can see the dependencies defined in our project by using the -n or --dependencies argument. We get an overview of the dependencies for each configuration in our Gradle build.
// File: build.gradle
usePlugin 'java'
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile 'org.springframework:spring-webmvc:2.5.6'
}
$ gradle -n

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 7.359 secs
Another way is to add the plugin project-reports to our project. We now get the the task dependencyReport in our project. When we run $ gradle dependencyReport we get a text file build/reports/project/dependencies.txt with the same overview of the dependencies.
Written with Gradle 0.8.
