first goal would be to shrink the reproducer scope to remove the need for those dependencies. If that’s not possible, grab the necessary dependencies and do something like this in the reproducer.

dependencies {
    implementation(files("libs/something_local.jar"))
}

@efemoney This should work:

repositories {
    maven("file:///path/to/local/repo")
}

Thanks. I know I can have a local file repo. I was looking for a way to automatically resolve all of the private dependencies then create a repo out of the resolved files such that i don't have to manually download each one individually (it's about 20 dependencies) and so that i don't have to go into all our modules (about 20 modules also) and change every dependency declaration from the gav to the local file :(

With what Thomas said, you can keep the GAV. But there is no convenient way to replicate the file structure I think.
