Gradle设置和依赖关系

Question

Imagine we have two projects:

root
 |
 |--MP
 |
 |--API

In these project MP use classes defined in API. I write settings.gradle file in the root directory:

include 'API', 'MP'

and build.gradle in that directory:

subprojects{
    apply plugin : 'java'

    repositories{
        mavenCentral()
    }

    version = '1.0'

    jar{
        manifest{
            attributes 'Gradle': 'Multiproject'
        }
    }
}

But if I don't create the following build.gradle in MP :

dependencies {
    compile project(':API')
}

it won't work. I thought settings.gradle define that we may use API in MP or vice versa during compilation.

Answer 1

This is as designed. You have two subprojects and each of them has its own sources and dependencies. Applying the same customization using the subprojects closure doesn't merge them.
