java - Gradle - A lot of modules -

i have java project (simplified) looks this: (they not named this, example)

core (project 1)   core.java   utils:     util.java     anotherutil.java  modules (project 2)       amodule.java   b     bmodule.java   c     cmodule.java   ...   z     zmodule.java 

i made build.gradle builds core project, works fine.

my question: there way make 26 different jars 26 different "modules", without creating 26 different build scripts?

when building program don't want run 26 different build scripts every time. fine running 2 scrips, 1 core , on modules. modules depend on core , core softdepends (depends without needing it, has functions when there) on modules.

all modules should have own jar looks this:

a.jar:   (package)     amodule.java b.jar:   b (package)     bmodule.java etc... 

gradle supports customising multi-project builds, ideal way.

all module represented separate jar should separated projects.

but in case still want have scenario in want extract different components/modules contents/source file projects , possible!

with minor tweak, can create customised task create jar archive meeting conditions.

ps: creating logical modules of project not @ recommended. use sub-projects instead , configure using gradle multi-project builds

not recommended :: generating multiple jars source folder (project)

one of easiest way achieve create custom task

for module a

task ajar(type: jar) {       from(sourcesets.main.output) {           include "a/**"      }   } 

for module b

task bjar(type: jar) {       from(sourcesets.main.output) {           include "b/**"      }   } 

and on.

now specify dependency on tasks

jar.dependson(ajar,bjar) 

they can execute gradle jar required jars
