How to create directory structure for gradle subProjects? - eclipse

Question

I have a root project with three subprojects
root
|
|-subA
|-subB
|-subB
the build.gradle file in root has this content
allprojects {
}
subprojects {
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'eclipse'
sourceCompatibility = 1.8
targetCompatibility = 1.8
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile 'org.zeromq:jeromq:0.3.+'
compile files('../lib/tibrvj.jar')
}
eclipse {
classpath {
downloadJavadoc=true
}
}
sourceSets {
main.java.srcDirs = ['src/main/java']
main.resources.srcDirs = ['src/main/resources']
test.java.srcDirs = ['src/test/java']
test.resources.srcDirs = ['src/test/resources']
}
}
task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
gradleVersion = '2.2'
}
task srcDirs << {
subprojects.sourceSets.main.java.srcDirs.each{f -> println(f)}
subprojects.sourceSets.main.resources.srcDirs.each{f -> println(f)}
subprojects.sourceSets.test.java.srcDirs.each{f -> println(f)}
subprojects.sourceSets.test.resources.srcDirs.each{f -> println(f)}
}
I do not know how I can create all the directories with this config. The other gradle.build files are empty at the moment

Unless you're trying to change from the defaults, you shouldn't need to set the sourceSets directories in the subprojects.
Have you tried something like:
subprojects {
task makeSrcDirs << {
sourceSets.main.java.srcDirs*.mkdirs()
sourceSets.main.resources.srcDirs*.mkdirs()
sourceSets.test.java.srcDirs*.mkdirs()
sourceSets.test.resources.srcDirs*.mkdirs()
}
}
