      project.buildscript.repositories RepoHandler

      // The minecraftforge repo has problems being proxied so we need to leave it in place directly.

Great, this is exactly what I was looking for, thanks!

To also be able to build Android Studio project with gradlew, I added the following lines to keep the local support repos replacing line 30/31:

if (!repo.url.toString().startsWith("http") &&
  repo.url.toString().contains("Android") ) {
  println "$LOG_PREFIX    $repo.name at $repo.url kept because local Android extras repo."
} else {
  remove repo
  println "$LOG_PREFIX    $repo.name at $repo.url removed."
}

Thank you very much. This is working for me. You save my day 😄
