Probably only by using the

idea-ext

plugin and a post-sync task that changes the module file or hacks like that. Btw. it is practically always a better idea to use a

flatDir

repository than

files

or

fileTree

if possible, for example for dependency reports, build scans and so on, where the latter would not appear at all currently while the former would.

How

flatDir

can help here? I’d assume I could point to my directory and use a relative path in

implementation(file("lib/app.jar"))

, but no. 🤔

I'm sorry if I was unclear. That was a general advice. It has no influence on the actual question.

Still I failed understanding how to refer to items provided by the

flatDir

.

The JavaDoc of it lists the patterns that are searched. You declare normal dependencies, just maybe without group and maybe without version. You indeed do not say "all in lib", for that you would probably iterate over the lib contents and declare dependencies from that
