Using Lightsaber to inject dependencies into AAR libraries about lightsaber HOT 4 OPEN

@MichaelRocks Hello! Well yes, I normally agree that it doesn't sound like a good idea to do. 🙂

What we have is a fairly specific use case, where we have a few projects, on which separate teams work in separate repositories. But these projects share large chunks of code, complete pages and such. These shared parts we distribute as libraries in our private maven repo. We've been passing down config and dependencies to these libraries manually so far, but it is getting more and more cumbersome, so we figured it'd make sense to explore some libraries that could help deal with this issue for us. 🙂

Thanks for the quick reply, and for checking this out for me!

Hi @tpasztor and thank you for reporting this issue. Lightsaber doesn't really support this case at the moment. I'm not sure that injection into external dependencies is a good idea but it seems to be quite easy to implement. Unfortunately this change will make compilation slower so it should be opt-in.

I think I'll try to implement this feature in the nearest future but until that moment the only workaround is to use your libraries as submodules.
