Project directories with multiple projects

[dkaiser59]

When using multiple projects that have dependencies, eg ProjectB is executed and depends on ProjectA, what would we the correct way of accessing the project directory of projectA?

[iils-dkaiser]

There are two ways of accessing a project and the project directory:

• the project().projectDir method always gives you the directory of the project your rule/program is placed into
• G.project.projectDir gives you the directory of the project that is currently executed

So if your executing projectB and want to access files from projectA, you could add an operation inside a rule in projectA like getProjectADirectory : String that returns project.projectDir.
