Is it possible to set up a gradle project with more than 2 levels?

Question

We have been using gradle for about a year and have been somewhat successful with it. A number of features are still a little opaque, but we are getting there. I am not sure

Answer 1

This is working quite well:

ext{
  buildPrefix = "build"
  allProjects = ["P1", "P2"]
}

def createTasks(String prefix) {
  def newTasks = allProjects.each {
    def pName ->
      def tName = "$prefix$pName"
      tasks.add(name: tName, type: GradleBuild) {
        dir = pName
        tasks = [ prefix ]
      }
  }
}

createTasks(buildPrefix)

ext {
  buildTasks = tasks.findAll{ t -> t.name.startsWith(buildPrefix) }
}

task build(dependsOn: buildTasks) {}

I can just add the other tasks that I want to expose at the top level.

Thanks for the pointers.
