[1.7.10]NotEnoughItems as gradle dependency

Hi,

I am trying to solve why I can't get NEI loaded in minecraft in my development environment. I added NEI in my build.gradle (see below) file like I did for buildcraft (which loads just fine).

As I am using IntelliJ IDEA for development I run the following commands to setup my development environment: "gradlew clean", "gradlew setupDecompWorkspace" followed by "gradlew idea".

The build.gradle file I use:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        maven {
            name = "forge"
            url = "http://files.minecraftforge.net/maven"
        }
        maven {
            name = "sonatype"
            url = "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/"
        }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'net.minecraftforge.gradle:ForgeGradle:1.2-SNAPSHOT'
    }
}

repositories {
    maven {
        name 'CB Repo'
            url "http://chickenbones.net/maven/"
    }
}

apply plugin: 'forge'

version = "1.7.10-1.0"
group= "mymod.mymodname" // http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-naming-conventions.html
archivesBaseName = "MyModName"

minecraft {
    version = "1.7.10-10.13.0.1180"
}

dependencies {
compile 'com.mod-buildcraft:buildcraft:6.0.17:dev'  // adds buildcraft to the dev env
compile "codechicken:CodeChickenLib:1.7.10-1.1.1.95:dev"
compile "codechicken:CodeChickenCore:1.7.10-1.0.2.11:dev"
compile "codechicken:NotEnoughItems:1.7.10-1.0.2.26:dev"
}

processResources
	{
		// this will ensure that this task is redone when the versions change.
		inputs.property "version", project.version
		inputs.property "mcversion", project.minecraft.version

		// replace stuff in mcmod.info, nothing else
		from(sourceSets.main.resources.srcDirs) {
			include 'mcmod.info'

			// replace version and mcversion
			expand 'version':project.version, 'mcversion':project.minecraft.version
		}

		// copy everything else, thats not the mcmod.info
		from(sourceSets.main.resources.srcDirs) {
			exclude 'mcmod.info'
		}
	}

Update

As it seems I just had to additionally drop the NEI Addon (dev Version) to /run/mods .

It seems the gradle downloaded version of NEI doesn't contain a mcmod.info and is not found by the system - is that behaviour intended?
