Gradle Transitive Dependency issue local ivy

Question

I am converting a ivy + ant project to gradle and I made the build.gradle file which refers to a projectA(downloads its jar) but the dependencies listed in projectA are not downloaded in my project

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'eclipse'
apply plugin: 'application'


repositories {

     ivy  {
        url 'http://ivyrepodomain:8080/repo'
        layout 'pattern', {
              artifact 'snapshot/[organisation]/[module]/[type]s/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]'
              artifact '3rd-party/[organisation]/[module]/[type]s/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]'
              artifact 'b2bdev/[organisation]/[module]/[type]s/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]'
              ivy '3rd-party/[organisation]/[module]/ivys/ivy-[revision].xml'
              ivy 'snapshot/[organisation]/[module]/ivys/ivy-[revision].xml'
        }
    }

}
targetCompatibility = sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_6

dependencies {


    testCompile('mygroup:projectA:17.20.SNAPSHOT') {
        exclude group: 'org.apache.wicket'
        exclude group: 'org.wicketstuff'
    }
    testCompile('org.hibernate.common:hibernate-commons-annotations:4.0.1.Final') {
        transitive = false
    }
    testCompile('org.hibernate:hibernate-ehcache:4.1.2.Final') {
        transitive = false
    }
    testCompile('org.javassist:javassist:3.16.1-GA') {
        transitive = false
    }
    compileOnly('javax.servlet:javax.servlet-api:3.0.1') {
        transitive = false
    }
    compileOnly('dom4j:dom4j:1.6.1') {
        transitive = false
    }
    testCompile('mygroup:projectA:17.20.SNAPSHOT') {
        exclude group: 'org.apache.wicket'
        exclude group: 'org.wicketstuff'
    }
    testCompile('com.h2database:h2:1.4.187') {
        transitive = false
    }
    testCompile('org.apache.derby:derby:10.11.1.1') {
        transitive = false
    }
    testCompile('org.hsqldb:hsqldb:2.3.4') {
        transitive = false
    }
}

The project A has some dependencies as in this ivy-17.20.SNAPSHOT.xml(hosted on the ivy repo) file below

Kindly help in resolving this Thanks

Single ivy module multi project gradle build is given in this tutorial: https://gist.github.com/BorePlusPlus/4145778

Complete Example

There is a complete example with demonstration which is publishing with a multi-project build: https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/publishing_ivy.html#publishing_ivy:example

Hope this will clarify your ivy and gradle combination for multi project.

You also need to add

apply plugin: 'ivy-publish'

thats one you not added in your build.gradle file also.

For more, you can go through this tutorial: Getting Started With Gradle: Creating a Multi-Project Build

UPDATE#1:

I have create a project in github https://github.com/rizvi/java-multi-project

Clone the project and run the following 2 command

gradle clean
gradle jar

Console

mac@My-PC:~/Desktop/gradleproject/java-multi-project$ gradle jar
:project2:compileJava UP-TO-DATE
:project2:processResources UP-TO-DATE
:project2:classes UP-TO-DATE
:project2:copyToLib
:project2:jar
:project1:compileJava UP-TO-DATE
:project1:processResources UP-TO-DATE
:project1:classes UP-TO-DATE
:project1:copyToLib
:project1:jar

BUILD SUCCESSFUL

Total time: 20.337 secs

This build could be faster, please consider using the Gradle Daemon: https://docs.gradle.org/2.10/userguide/gradle_daemon.html

This will create 2 project. They are

i) project1

ii) project2

In project1/build/lib folder you will get commons-collections-3.2.2.jar, hamcrest-core-1.3.jar, junit-4.12.jar and project2-1.0.jar.

In project2/build/lib folder you will get commons-collections-3.2.2.jar only

Here project1 is dependent on project2. So project1 contains project2's jar file and dependent jar files.

Hope it will fulfill your demand. :)

UPDATE#2:

There is a plugin named by gradle-ivyxml-plugin. but it has various types of obstacles. They are given below.

Purposefully does not do anything with any ivysettings.xml file.
Purposefully ignores publishing-related ivy.xml elements and attributes.

UNSUPPORTED ivy.xml features

Most ivy.xml elements and attributes are supported. Here we document those which are not.

The following ivy.xml elements and attributes are ignored. I did my best to detect and either, support, throw or warn, but the public Ivy API just does not allow for access to these settings.

 (and all attrs and sub-elements)
  (For conf-mapping)
  attr.
<*>

The following elements and attribute are purposefully prohibited. We don't support them, it would be misleading to silently ignore then, and we can detect their usage.
