Prepare IDE app for multiproject build

We already configured IDE products. Now we prepare IDE app for multiproject build.

Create root "build.gradle"

Create "build.gradle" in "tutorials" folder (parent of "MyIdeApp" folder).

Move "buildscript" and "repositories" from "tutorials/MyIdeApp/build.gradle" to "tutorials/build.gradle", so that two scripts look like this:

"tutorials/build.gradle":

buildscript {
  repositories {
    mavenLocal()
    jcenter()
  }
  
  dependencies {
    classpath 'org.akhikhl.wuff:wuff-plugin:+'
  }
}

subprojects {
  repositories {
    mavenLocal()
    jcenter()
  }
}

"tutorials/MyIdeApp/build.gradle":

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'org.akhikhl.wuff.eclipse-ide-app'
  
products {
  product platform: 'linux', arch: 'x86_32'
  product platform: 'linux', arch: 'x86_64'
  product platform: 'windows', arch: 'x86_32'
  product platform: 'windows', arch: 'x86_64'
  product platform: 'macosx', arch: 'x86_64'
  archiveProducts = true
}

Create "settings.gradle"

Create "settings.gradle" in "tutorials" folder (parent of "MyIdeApp" folder), insert code:

include 'MyIdeApp'

Compile

Invoke on command line in "tutorials" folder: gradle build.

Check: build task must generate products in "tutorials/MyIdeApp/build/output" folder.
