Wai commented on OFBIZ-7910:
----------------------------

Hello Taher, Jacques

Here are my findings.

My source tree contains the following relevant details...
/ofbiz
/ofbiz/lib
/ofbiz/hot-deploy/mycomponent1
/ofbiz/hot-deploy/mycomponent1/lib


mycomponent1 references a class in myInHouse.jar

Try1:
I placed the myInHouse.jar in /ofbiz/lib
Modified /ofbiz/build.gradle and added the following to dependencies
    compile files('lib')
Ran $gradlew cleanAll build
The compilation failed on mycomponent1.
    -the failure is due to mycomponent1 referencing a class that is not found.  This class is in myInHouse.jar

Try2:
I placed the myInHouse.jar into /ofbiz/hot-deploy/mycomponent1/lib
Ran $gradlew cleanAll build
The compilation was sucessful.


Conclusion:
My findinds corroborates Taher's comment about searching in the local 'lib' directory of each component to locate the custom jars.
I also noticed a deficiency with the build script. Consider a developer creates multiple hot-deploy components.  Each component references classes from the same myInHouse.jar.  This would require a copy of the same jar in each of the components 'lib' directory.  This is very inconvenient.
I suggest to modify the script so that each hot-deploy component can reference one myInHouse.jar located in /ofbiz/lib.


I hope this helps.

> Currently the component generated with the createComponent task doesn't have the means to work with the Gradle build solution visavis dependency management.
> The reason for this is that no build.gradle template exists that need to be copied into the new component.
