java - How to update Gradle dependencies from command line?

Question

I have following build.gradle file:

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'eclipse'

sourceCompatibility = 1.7
version = '1.0'

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    compile 'org.springframework:spring-core:4.1.1.RELEASE'
    compile 'org.springframework:spring-context:4.1.1.RELEASE'
    testCompile group: 'junit', name: 'junit', version: '4.+'
}

I run following command:

$ gradle --refresh-dependencies

But it does nothing. The dependencies do not get updated and do not reflect on classpath. The output from command is:

:help

Welcome to Gradle 2.1.

To run a build, run gradle <task> ...

To see a list of available tasks, run gradle tasks

To see a list of command-line options, run gradle --help

BUILD SUCCESSFUL

Total time: 5.999 secs

Doing this via Eclipse gradle plugin is working though.
