Hello,

I just started looking at Gradle so forgive me if I ask the obvious (though
I did make an effort before posting...).

I have a multi-module project built by a master ant-script that call the
individual modules' build.xml in order. Each individual build.xml picks up
the jars it needs from the dist directories of modules that built before it.
Now I want to turn this monster into gradle, gradually.

Basically I want to use the existing build.xml in a module, if a
build.gradle does not exist (if a build.gradle exists the build.xml should
be ignored). The imported project should then somehow be decorated with
declaration of the artifacts it produces so that I can pick it up from
depending build.gradles (I understand this happens magically if you use the
java plugin e.g.). In my case I know that the produced artifacts will be all
the jars in the dist directory of the module, so it should be possible to
express generically.

So, my question is then: How do I declare the jars I built as artifacts, and
can I do that in a generic way so that I can pass it to allprojects?

TIA,

Simon Tardell.
