Set subproject group

Thomas_Lee · February 11, 2014, 9:12am

My project structure and I have 6 projects now including the rootProject.

Project A and Project B are the same group “com.abc” while ProjectC/D/E are belong to “com.abc.ext”

I have mentioned all the projects in the settings.gradle

/projA

/projB

/ext

/projC

/projD

/projE

/build.gradle

/settings.gradle

My question is how to set subproject group.

One of the solution is to create the gradle.properties in each project C/D/E. Another solution is to work inside the build.gradle and then update the group by its path?

But I want to know if it is possible to put a gradle.properties in ext folder which share among the project.( I tried but fail)

Apart from different namespace, is it possible to exclude the ext project (where i mention ext:projC…etc. in the settings.gradle) ?

I don’t want to hard code like this

gist.github.com

https://gist.github.com/allengeorge/7339905

build.gradle

subprojects {
  if (name == 'samples') {
    return
  }
  
  apply plugin: 'java'
  apply plugin: 'maven-publish'
  
  // rest of build script follows...
}

settings.gradle

include 'core', 'agent', 'samples:sample1'

but if i change from ext:projC into the ext/projC. Its artifact Id will become ext/projC and fail to publish due to invalid name,

Thanks.
