Gradle – Multi-Modul-Project – Change module path

The simplest and fastest solution with Gradle is to define the following includes in the settings settings.gradle file:

1 2 3 4 |
include 'modules:module_1' include 'modules:module_2' ... include 'modules:module_n' |
This solution has, at least, to drawbacks. One is that you need to define inter-module dependencies […]
