I have a question regarding Android's new build system Gradle.
The documentation suggests to put your project and libraries in the same root folder. But in my opinion this doesn't make sense in some cases.
Usually I set up my projects like this:
Project folder (Git repo of my company)
-- Main project
---- src (etc)
-- Local Library
---- src (etc)
If I needed a library from another repository, I saved it somewhere else on my hard drive. In the end the Main project was build with Maven on a Jenkins. Does Gradle allow to add a library from another location, e.g. if the library isn't available in Maven Central? Or do I really need to save the library underneath the Project folder?
Project folder (Git repo of my company)
-- Main project
---- src (etc)
-- Local Library
---- src (etc)
-- Library from another Git repo
---- src
As you can see, a Git repo would be in another Git repo.
How do you handle dependencies, which are not available in a Maven repository? How do you attach the same local library to different projects without copying them?
