Java project build externalization by put its config into separate repository

Composite Build usage example

Based on this Spring Boot app template. Sources was not changed, only build script adjusted

Approach description

Composite Build is externalization of build by put dependencies and plugins into separate Git repository (which added to project as Git submodule)

After that build script looks like this:

service(version = "0.0.1") {
    dependencies {
        springBoot {
            web()
            test()
            dataJpa()
            validation()
            ...
        }

        lombok()
        apacheCommonsLang()
        mapstruct()
        springFox()
        postgres()
        flywayCore()
        testContainers()
        postgresTestContainers()
        ...
    }
}
