springfox 2.2.3 snapshot dependencies adding failed because of missing nexus-maven-repository-index.properties - intellij-idea

Question

I setup my project with springfox 2.2.3 snapshot version in IDEA 14 with gradle. I follow instruction 2.1.1. Gradle Snapshot. I failed with error that maven repository cannot be indexed and see exception in IDEA's log:
WARN - #org.jetbrains.idea.maven - Failed to update Maven indices for: [com.intellij.util.CachedValueImpl#a1d13c] http://oss.jfrog.org/simple/oss-snapshot-local/io/springfox
org.jetbrains.idea.maven.server.MavenServerIndexerException: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: Resource nexus-maven-repository-index.properties does not exist
I tried both repositories and both failed:
http://oss.jfrog.org/simple/oss-snapshot-local/io/springfox/
http://oss.jfrog.org/oss-snapshot-local/io/springfox/
Could anyone have any idea how to fix the issue?
I tried to download dependencies manually and put them in my local .m2 directory and setup in gradle mavenLocal() instead of maven {url ...} but my attempt failed with IDEA's warning on Gradle refresh operation:
Warning:<i><b>project ':data-service': Web Facets/Artifacts will not be configured</b>
Details: org.gradle.api.artifacts.ResolveException: Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':data-service:runtime'.
Caused by: org.gradle.internal.resolve.ModuleVersionNotFoundException: Could not find io.springfox:springfox-swagger2:2.2.3-SNAPSHOT.
Required by:
parseq:data-service:2.4.0 alpha</i>
Now I think that should also manually add transitive dependencies for springfox package. But it looks ugly and I think I should not go this way.
Does anyone has idea what should I do?

Answer 1

I found issues with dependency donwloading:
* when I work from corporate network I have SSL certificate issue
* initially I added maven { url 'http://oss.jfrog.org/artifactory/oss-snapshot-local/' } into buildscript {...} section, I changed it to repositories {...} and fixed the issue
* also I updated my gradle to 2.4 version (but it didn't help)
Now my starting issue is fixed.
