spring boot - Gradle - Compile submodules in parallel -

i have project 2 sub modules.

1. client - ui based on google's web developer kit
2. server - spring boot based server.

now in gradle config(build file) on server, im creating jar file client , including on server through below snippet. lastly, create .war file based on server config.

dependencies {      compile project(':client')      } 

the architecture similar spring boot's proposed ways of resource handling.

now, when run gradle build, because server dependent on client, server compilation doesnt start until client compilation , tests done.

i feel i'm not making use of gradle's parallelism way of compiling client , server.

are there ways such compile , run test cases in parallel , create .war file when both submodule's tasks complete? how access configurations of client , server modules , create new war file on rootproject?

you can try add flag --parallel gradle command. still incubating feature. noticed significant improvement on building time when running gradle daemon, can try out well.
