Gradle nested multi-projects with project compile dependencies

Question

I have an identical problem to this Gradle Multi-Module Project Setup but I have to use project compile dependencies to build and cannot use the library(jar) dependencies so

Answer 1

A build can only have a single settings.gradle file. Assuming settings.gradle is in the root directory and includes projects like so:

include "P1:PP1"

You can add a compile dependency like so:

dependencies {
    compile(project(":P1:PP1"))
}

For more information, see the "Multi-Project Builds" chapter in the Gradle User Guide.
