Multi-Project with Gradle

Gradle supports including other projects as dependencies. A good example for this can be found here as explained in the blog post.

The author summarises the three msot important things as:

A multi-project build must have the settings.gradle file in the root directory of the root project because it specifies the projects that are included in the multi-project build.

If we have to add common configuration or behavior to all projects of our multi-project build, we should add this configuration (use allprojects) to the build.gradle file of our root project.

If we have to add common configuration or behavior to the subprojects of our root project, we should add this configuration (use subprojects) to the build.gradle file of our root project.

I ended up using this approach for a game I’m developing. The core module is one project and all the frontends are other projects.
