Overview

Project information can be accessed from settings.gradle via ProjectDescriptor instances. Project instances are not accessible at this stage. ProjectDescriptor instances are created when a new project is added to the build from the settings script via include or includeFlat.

The ProjectDescriptor instances can be looked up in settings.gradle as follows:

project(':subproject-A')

findProject(':subproject-A')

The methods take a path as arguments and return the corresponding ProjectDescriptor instance. The ProjectDescriptor instance can be use to access and mutate state of the corresponding project.
