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

And here is version for Kotlin DSL - to sync all resources from :data module to root and all sub-modules build/resources folders:

// Synchronizing resources from :data module to project root: build/resources
synchronizeSharedResources()

subprojects {
    // Synchronizing resources from :data module to all submodules: build/resources
    synchronizeSharedResources()
}

fun Project.synchronizeSharedResources() {
    sourceSets {
        main {
            resources.srcDir(project(":data").sourceSets["main"].resources.srcDirs)
        }
        test {
            resources.srcDir(project(":data").sourceSets["test"].resources.srcDirs)
        }
    }
}
