Intellij IDEA With Multiple Gradle Projects

I am working on two Gradle projects. One of these projects is a supporting library that will be used by other projects in the future so project A depends on project B but not as a 'multi module project'. The dependency is to be resolved through the artifact repo so project a declares it as a compile dependency using it's maven coordinates.

My problem is when working on these two projects in IntelliJ changes to project B aren't made available to project A until I install it (using the Gradle Maven plugin) in my local repo. This is kind of annoying and slows down my workflow. Is there a way to get IntelliJ to automatically update the dependency internally?

In IDEA 2017 you can right-click on the gradle module and use Composite Build Configuration to link the current module to one or more gradle module already opened in the current workspace.

This is supported in the latest versions of Gradle and IntelliJ. It is known as a Composite Build.

Composite builds can be declared in the project's settings.gradle file as follows:

includeBuild '../my-app'

or by using the --include-build command line argument:

$ gradle --include-build ../my-utils run

Take a look at the Composite Builds with Gradle and IntelliJ IDEA Webinar for instructions on how to configure the integration.
