Some key concepts in Gradle dependency management include:

*Repositories* - The source of dependencies -> `mavenCentral()`

https://mvnrepository.com/repos/central[Maven Central] is a collection of jar files, plugins, and libraries provided by the Maven community and backed by https://central.sonatype.org/[Sonatype^].
It is the de-facto public artifact store for Java and is used by many build systems.

Dependencies are requirements for building your application or library:

			// an unswept set, then the mcentral will pop it off the
			// set, check its sweepgen, and ignore it.
			if nalloc == 0 {
				// Free totally free span directly back to the heap.
				mheap_.freeSpan(s)
				return true
			}
			// Return span back to the right mcentral list.
			if nalloc == s.nelems {
				mheap_.central[spc].mcentral.fullSwept(sweepgen).push(s)
			} else {

Usually, a rule is specifically written to enrich metadata of one specific module and hence the `withModule` API should be preferred.
