git submodules?

[michael-conrad]

I noticed a long list of git clone steps in a recent commit.

Would it be better to use git submodules or gradle source sources for the various dependencies?

I went with cloning because this is the encapsulated project - so i was working on a gradle git checkout - so I could include the projects as gradle subprojects but i was hitting a few roadblocks.

I'm not tied to putting clone checkouts. I just haven't moved to anything else.

I'm assuming for gradle you're talking about https://blog.gradle.org/introducing-source-dependencies - which is preferable (to me). I was using a different way before. I just haven't gotten back to this. Since I've now finished the build process I'm able to get back to cleaning up the build script.

Makes sense to me. I haven't used the Gradle source repository feature yet. What do you think of it's capabilities?

I was using it before I decided to just clone. it works nice. it does essentially the same thing I'm doing except that all projects are now a part of the main project - so it does help compiling them all at one time instead of cd into a directory, running gradle, then moving on to the next directory. it will check everything out into a sub-directory. The reason the clones are in the build script is because I was having other issues and I just wanted to get the build script done so I could move on. eventually, I'll go that route again now that the build script is complete.
