Composite Builds with Gradle

on YouTube ↗27m

" summary

Combines multiple independent Gradle builds so binary dependencies are automatically replaced with project dependencies and changes in an upstream repo appear immediately; demo shows fixing a bug in a utils project and the app reflecting it without publishing to mavenLocal. Uses a settings.gradle includeBuild entry, IDE import works in IntelliJ and Eclipse/Buildship, and plugin development no longer requires publishing. Limitations: no cross-build task targeting, single-level nesting, shared Gradle version, no parallel execution or build-scan support.
