[jira] [Commented] (OFBIZ-3500) Umbrella issue for components dependency

["Ioan Eugen Stan (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-3500?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17371694#comment-17371694 ] 

Ioan Eugen Stan commented on OFBIZ-3500:
----------------------------------------

I think this would be much simpler to see components if ofbiz used a build.gradle file (subproject)  per component. 
Right now activateComponent scans the classpath and creates gradle projects dynamically. 

Why not use actual build.gradle configurations for the framework and applications ?

Projects can use common dependencies: [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9547170/in-gradle-how-do-i-declare-common-dependencies-in-a-single-place] :
{code:java}
libraries = [
    spring: [ // Groovy list literal
        "org.springframework:spring-core:3.1", 
        "org.springframework:spring-jdbc:3.1"
    ]
]

dependencies { compile libraries.spring }
{code}
By using real projects we could also publish a jar per component and those could be used as libraries. 
I would love to use OFBiz framework as a library (the entity layer is very useful).
