# Using Shadow in Multi-Project Builds
When using Shadow in a multi-project build, project dependencies will be treated the same as
external dependencies.
That is a project dependency will be merged into the shadowJar
output of the project that
is applying the Shadow plugin.
# Depending on the Shadow Jar from Another Project
In a multi-project build there may be one project that applies Shadow and another that
requires the shadowed JAR as a dependency.
In this case, use Gradle's normal dependency declaration mechanism to depend on the shadow
configuration of the shadowed project.
// Depending On Shadow Output of Project
dependencies {
implementation project(path: ':api', configuration: 'shadow')
}
