Description

Now that the LGP supports multi-module Gradle projects, we should investigate how to support this in Liberty Tools.

One thing to keep in mind is how Gralde multi-module projects are imported into Eclipse with modules as sub-directories - not separate projects. This means our detection logic, which performs project level checks will not work.

Research direction

Start by reviewing how Liberty Tools detects projects and how multi-module Gradle projects are imported into Eclipse, with modules represented as sub-directories rather than separate projects. Trace the existing project-level checks and determine the scope of support needed; done means multi-module projects are correctly detected and supported.
