compileGwt when build.gradle is located in a different project about gwt-gradle-plugin HOT 4 CLOSED

Please, try the following:

gwt {
    modules 'org.sample.project.client.ProjectWebApp'
    src new File(projectDir.parentFile, 'org.sample.project.client/src')
}

from gwt-gradle-plugin.

Hm that did not work for me. However i managed to find my ProjectWebApp.gwt.xml by adjusting the source settings to the following:

sourceSets {
main { java { srcDir 'src' } }
test { java { srcDir 'test' } }
}

I advanced my project to the following structure:
org.sample.project
org.sample.project.client
org.sample.project.shared

'org.sample.project.shared' has its own gwt.xml file and thus is a gwt module.
Now i use MultiProjectBuild and in 'org.sample.project' i aditionally have a gradle.settings file with the following content:

includeFlat 'org.sample.project.shared', 'org.sample.project.client'

The Problem is now that gwtCompile cant find the Shared.gwt.xml because its not on the classpath.
How do i solve this? I think the 'shared' should be compiled into a jar which is then included into the war of the client. As you might guess i am working on eclipse and i do not want to use the defaut maven structure to port my old projects to gradle. Could you mockup a little tutorial on how to build multi project dependency gwt with multiproject layout gradle with your plugin?
I am a little bit lost on this :/
Others seem to have similar problems.

To make the compiled classes of the shared project to be included in the war, you simply have to declare a dependency:

dependencies {
    compile project(':org.sample.project.shared')
}

To make the GWT compiler to see all the sources, you need a little ugly solution:

gwt {
    src += files(project(':example-library').sourceSets.main.allJava.srcDirs) + files(project(':example-library').sourceSets.main.output.resourcesDir)
}

If you do not have a special resourcesDir (that's the case if all *.java files and resources are located under /src), you can simply remove the second part including the resourcesDir.

Btw: there is an example project named 'war-using-library' showing how to include sources from a sibling project.

Is it still a case?
I should add that adding project(':example-library').sourceSets.main.allJava.srcDirs
quite often won't be enough - example libary is not necessarily evaluated up to the moment gwt declaration is evaluated.

that said, one need to add evaluationDependsOn(':example-library') as well.

That's well, seems non-optimal to me.
