Gradle: common resource dependency for multiple java projects

Question

I\'m developing a multi-module project with gradle/intellij-idea, and here is the structure of my project home:

project/
  sub-project-1
    /main/resources
         


        

Answer 1

You need to choose the project which will hold your resources. All the other projects that require those resources, will add them to the resources component of the sourceSets.

sourceSets {
    data {
        resources {
            srcDir "${project(':data').projectDir}/src/main/resources"
            include "your_pattern_here**"
        }
    }
    main {
        resources {
            srcDirs += [ data.resources ]
        }
    }
}
