Check out Gradle's documentation on multi-project builds.

Here's an example, with some extra dependencies. Just call gradle install in the root folder, and all will be built and put to your local repo.

Folder structure:

root
+--> build.gradle
+--> settings.gradle
+--> sdk
|    +--> build.gradle
+--> example
     +--> build.gradle

root/build.gradle:

allprojects {
  apply plugin: 'java'
  apply plugin: 'maven'

  group = 'myGroup'
  version = '0.1-SNAPSHOT'
}

root/settings.gradle:

include 'sdk'
include 'example'

root/sdk/build.gradle:

dependencies {
  // just an example external dep.
  compile group:'commons-lang', name:'commons-lang', version:'2.3'
}

root/example/build.gradle:

dependencies {
  compile project(':sdk')
  compile group:'log4j', name:'log4j', version:'1.2.16'

You need to publish your own library to your local repository. You can do that in the following way:

Add maven-publish plugin: plugins { // your other plugins come here... id 'maven-publish' } Add the publishing section to your build file: publishing { publications { myCoolLibrary(MavenPublication) { from components.java } } } Run gradle build publishToMavenLocal Find more details in the documentation.
