I have three source sets: main, javacc, ast. They need to be compiled
in that order, and each needs to have access to the classes generated by
the previous ones. Specifying task dependencies doesn't get the classes
added to the classpath. If I try to add the files to
configurations.compile (like in "Example 28.7. Generated file
dependencies" of the 0.8 user manual), I get circular task dependencies.
So how should I go about specifying these dependencies? I'd really
rather not break things out into multiple projects, because they're
simply not that distinct (they share the same dependencies, will end up
packaged into the same JAR, etc., etc.). I just need a particular
compilation order.
(BTW, the reason I need the particular compilation order is because the
AST is written in Scala and the javacc is written in Java. The javacc
depends on the AST, which means compileJava depends on compileScala,
which is a circular dependency. I can't seem to remove compileJava from
compileScala's dependency list:
compileScala.dependsOn().remove(compileJava) doesn't seem to do
anything. If I could break the bad assumption that compileScala depends
on compileJava, I wouldn't need the distinct source sets and could move
on with my life.)
