title: Gradle equivalent to Maven's "copy-dependencies"?
body: <p>In Maven-land, anytime I want to simply pull down the transitive dependencies for a particular POM file, I just open a shell, navigate to where the POM is located, and run:</p>
  
  <pre><code>mvn dependency:copy-dependencies
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And <strong>boom</strong>, Maven creates a <code>target/</code> directory inside the current one and places all the transitively-fetched JARs to that location.</p>
  
  <p>I am now <em>trying</em> to make the switch over to Gradle, but Gradle doesn't seem to have the same feature. So I ask: <strong>Does Gradle have an equivalent to Maven's <code>copy-dependencies</code>?</strong>  If so, can someone provide an example? If not, would other devs find this to be a worthwhile contribution to the Gradle community?</p>
