Multi Project

Adding other projects as sub modules of our Spring Boot project requires editing the build.gradle and settings.gradle files.

settings.gradle

To include a project from the same workspace folder, add the following to the settings.gradle file:

includeFlat 'NameofProjectToInclude'

In our setup, the Spring Boot project includes the JPA project.

build.gradle

Now that Gradle knows about the project you are trying to include, we need to compile the project and include it as a dependency.

dependencies {
  implementation project(':NameofProjectToInclude')
  // ...
}

Drill

1. Include JPAVideoStore as a sub project of BootMVCVideoStore.

2. Open BootMVCVideoStore/settings.gradle

   • MAKE SURE YOU ARE IN THE settings.gradle OF BootMVCVideoStore.
   • add includeFlat 'JPAVideoStore':

   // settings.gradle
   rootProject.name = 'BootMVCVideoStore'
   
   includeFlat 'JPAVideoStore'
   

   * This tells MVCVideoStore that it has a sub project named JPAVideoStore 1. Save and close BootMVCVideoStore/settings.gradle. 1. Open BootMVCVideoStore/build.gradle * MAKE SURE YOU ARE IN THE build.gradle OF BootMVCVideoStore. * Add the dependency to compile the JPAVideoStore project.

    dependencies {
        implementation project(':JPAVideoStore')

        // ...
    }

1. Save and close BootMVCVideoStore/build.gradle. 1. Do a Gradle refresh of BootMVCVideoStore.
