Description

Problem: missing nexus repository for the gradle service distribution site.

Background:
The spring boot quickstarter uses the gradle wrapper as build tool.
The gradle wrapper downloads the gradle binary from internet.
The url that points to the gradle internet site is defined by the property distributionUrl defined in gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties. It current value is:

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.7.1-bin.zip

Problem is that developers cannot change this property to point to nexus because a repository for that is missing.

This feature request is for adding automatically on nexus deployment a new repository in nexus that proxies https://services.gradle.org/distributions

Research direction

Start with gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties and the Nexus deployment configuration that provisions repositories. Confirm how the Gradle distribution URL is proxied, then verify that the services.gradle.org/distributions path resolves through the new Nexus repository and that the repository is created automatically during deployment.
