How can I find what parameters the `compile` method can accept?
In build.gradle
we can define dependencies like:
project(':') {
dependencies {
compile 'joda-time:joda-time:2.1'
compile('joda-time:joda-time:2.1')
compile 'joda-time:joda-time:2.1', 'com.google.guava:guava:14.0.1'
}
}
My question is, how can I find out what types of parameters can it take compile
? I have read this document https://gradle.org/docs/current/dsl/org.gradle.api.artifacts.dsl.DependencyHandler.html but cannot get enough information.
I also want to know if the correct sequence (mix string and array) is:
compile 'joda-time:joda-time:2.1', ['com.google.guava:guava:14.0.1', 'commons-codec:commons-codec:1.7']
Which works, but I'm not sure if it actually works.

'compile' is not a method but a dependency configuration and it takes a list of dependencies. Each dependency is represented by at least a group ID, an ID, and an artifact version.
