Eclipse and Gradle

A gradle plug-in exist for eclipse and it is  in the default configuration for the last version of eclipse.

With this plug-in and declare ofbiz as a gradle project, it's possible to view the task list and running them directly by a click, but currently it's not easy to give some parameters values. So it's useful for the basic tasks but not for a full usage of gradle. If you only have a graphical view for the task list, it's more simple to just do (out of eclipse ;-) ./gradlew --gui

After this warning, if you continue to realy want to have ofbiz declare as a Gradle project, you should do 2 steps :

...

eclipse {
        project {
          //Eclipse project's comment which appair in Gradle tasks view behind ofbiz
          comment = 'All the main gradle task'
          //Append gradle natures :
          natures 'org.eclipse.buildship.core.gradleprojectnature'
          //Append the gradle build command:
          buildCommand 'org.eclipse.buildship.core.

gradleprojectbuilder'

...

STEP-1b : If you have already generate the eclipse file, the .project file should be modified
You should add two thing :

1. in <natures> add
   

           <nature>org.eclipse.buildship.core.gradleprojectnature</nature>

2. in <buildSpec>

           <buildCommand>
               <name>org.eclipse.buildship.core.gradleprojectbuilder</name>
               <arguments/>
           </buildCommand> 

...

STEP-2 : (after the eclipse files generation) you should add a file name org.eclipse.buildship.core.prefs in .settings directory (created by gradle eclipse task)
the contents of the file should be :

             build.commands=org.eclipse.jdt.core.javabuilder
             connection.arguments=
             connection.gradle.distribution=GRADLE_DISTRIBUTION(WRAPPER)
             connection.java.home=null
             connection.jvm.arguments=
             connection.project.dir=
             derived.resources=.gradle,build
             eclipse.preferences.version=1
             natures=org.eclipse.jdt.core.javanature
             project.path=\:

...

You can start eclipse and wait init. You can go to the gradle task view
