Having difficulty setting up Gradle multiproject build for existing repository layout

Question

I\'m trying to craft a Gradle multiproject build for a situation in which my project layout is already dictated to me. I have something like this:

-->Shar         


        

Answer 1

For completeness, the settings.gradle that solved my specific example above is as follows:

rootProject.name = 'Product1'

def projectTreeRootDir = new File( "${ProjectsRoot}" )

// Shared components

def sharedRootDir = new File( projectTreeRootDir, 'Shared' )

include ':SharedComponent1'
project( ':SharedComponent1' ).projectDir = new File( sharedRootDir, 'SharedComponent1' )

include ':SharedComponent2'
project( ':SharedComponent2' ).projectDir = new File( sharedRootDir, 'SharedComponent2' )

// Product components

includeFlat 'ProductComponent1', 'ProductComponent2'

Clearly this doesn't scale to large numbers of subprojects and it could be done significantly better using the hints provided by Peter above.
