在Java多模块项目中添加包含jar的文件夹

Question

I am a newbie in Gradle and I have the following java project structure:

rootProject
|--- projectA
|-------src/main/java
|-------build.gradle
|--- Lib
|-------lib/*.jar
|--- build.gradle
|--- settings.gradle

I am trying to build projectA. Project A dependencies are in Lib/lib folder as jars. I know that it is better to download these jars from maven central but now I have to maintain this structure. So I am not aware how to add all the jars that are in Lib folder in projectA/build.gradle . Can anyone help?

My build.gradle file in projectA is the following

apply plugin : "java"
task listJars<< {
    configurations.compile.each { File file -> println file.name }
}
dependencies{
    compile fileTree(dir:'Lib/lib',include:'*.jar')
} 

Answer 1

You can add them as dependencies in a file object as such

dependencies {
   runtime files('libs/a.jar', 'libs/b.jar')
   runtime fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar') 
}
