For background, this is related to this discussion

So you said that inter-project dependencies use the jar file *by
default*. So it sounds like that is at least changeable in some
fashion. In the ideal world, I'd set this up such that my CORE project
is *compiled* first, then the 2 JDBC modules are compiled against the
classes just compiled from CORE; and then going back to CORE I'd do the
jar packaging including the classes from CORE as well as the 2 JDBC
projects/modules. Is something like that achievable using gradle? I
currently use maven and the trouble there is that maven performs all
"phases" on each project/module before moving on to the next
project/module.
