In this topic it was not my intention to write about a specific problem.

Yes.

I have no problem with my project structure. I could tailor my gradle.build. 
It was more or less straightforward experience to set up my local repo so
hat I can 
compile the project.

This is a new project and is rather simple at present.

OK. I started a topic a bit earlier describing the problem.

I always try to give enough context to the problem, but it may happen that
now 
this was not enough.

I am talking about this in a generic context to illustrate what kind of
problems I face when trying to understand things within gradle.
I do not want to flood the list with too basic question. I don't mind to
work 
through the hard way. Just wanted to make sign that this feels too hard way
compared to what I think it ought to be.

As said, the first three was not a problem. The last point is what I am 
following :-)

Thank you for paying attention to my problem!
