Strange behavior in multi module build

Help/Discuss
1

I have the following project structure:

  • root
  • domain-core
    • intf
    • impl
    • …
  • domain
    • impl
    • intf
    • …

settings.gradle includes ‘domain-core:intf’ ‘domain-core:impl’, ‘doamain:intf’ and ‘domain:impl’

domain/impl/build.gradle contains a dependency to domain-core/intf

compile project(’:domain-core:intf’)

However, “gradle build” complains about compile errors. Apparently the compiler can not find a class when compiling domain/impl. But the class is definitly included in domain-core/intf. Also in eclipse (using gradle STS plugin) domain-core:intf is not listed under “gradle dependencies” in the project explorer.

I am sure there is a reason for this behavior. I just can’t figure it out…

=== build output ===

Hi Harald,

can you attach a small example project that reproduces this problem?

Cheers,
