Add dependency dirs for monorepo config

[shashken]

Add the option to configure several dependency directories to affect the version in a monorepo project

[shashken]

@bgalek WDYT

Adding a comment I added in #326 to provide some background:

We are moving away to use composite build, as a result when a dependency project gets updated, the main project stays on the same version, this created all sorts of problems for us so we reverted, I opened a new PR #647 that is actually continuing the work I did in #422 to make monorepos work (closed #332)
They idea is to look for latest tag in both project dir and dependency dirs and to check for diff in commits in the deps dir as well
This allows a more direct (composite build) dependency mechanism in monorepos and can help with some use cases

[shashken]

@bgalek WDYT?

[shashken]

@bgalek please let me know what you think :)
We really need this feature to be able to work with gradle composite build

[bgalek]

@shashken ok, lets do it, could you just rebase this PR?

[shashken]

thanks! @bgalek working on it, we are also currently working with java 8 on a single project, is it possible to release this for older java version as well as a hotfix? I saw that latest versions removed support for older java versions

[bgalek]

@shashken we could backport, but I really don't like the idea, jdk8 is dead to me ;)

[shashken]

lol @bgalek as it should be 😄 but sadly not for us just yet 😢
I can handle the backport, can you point me out to the proper flow I need to make for it here?

I would recommend a fork then, I don't want to manage two versions at the same time (v2), and this is a new feature not fixing a bug, sorry

[shashken]

Ok so this one is ready from my side
Do you think it will be possible to release a hotfix on this repo for 1.14.x?
It will be a bit challenging building a pipeline on our side just for 1 version
Will it be simple in this repo?

[bgalek]

thank you for understanding and your collaboration!
It should be very basic - if you're sticking to 1.14.x you could make the change locally and update the resulting jar to your maven without any pipelines (YAGNI) - assuming that you will migrate to 1.15.x and get back to main upstream someday ;)

[bgalek]

@shashken please also upadate documentation

[shashken]

@bgalek Added

[bgalek]

@shashken nice!
Last thing, could you add at least one test using monorepos settings?
also I think we could use "monorepo" instead of plural version

[shashken]

@bgalek added a test, this branch was opened 1.5 months ago, I am loosing a lot of context here, lets aim for short living branches and move the rename to a different issue/PR
WDYT?

[bgalek]

Sure, we can
