Import existing Gradle Git project into Eclipse

Usually it is a simple as adding apply plugin: "eclipse" in your build.gradle and running

cd myProject/
gradle eclipse

and then refreshing your Eclipse project.

Occasionally you'll need to adjust build.gradle to generate Eclipse settings in some very specific way.

There is gradle support for Eclipse if you are using STS, but I'm not sure how good it is.

The only IDE I know that has decent native support for gradle is IntelliJ IDEA. It can do full import of gradle projects from GUI. There is a free Community Edition that you can try.

Add the following to your build.gradle

apply plugin: 'eclipse'

and browse to the project directory

gradle eclipse

I have gone through this question earlier but did not found complete gui based solution.Today I got a GUI based solution provided by spring.

In short we need to do only that much:

1.Install plugin in eclipse from update site: site link

2.Import project as gradle and browse the .gradle file..that's it.

Complete documentation is here

There is a simplest and quick way to import a Gradle project into Eclipse. Just download the Gradle plugin for Eclipse from here.

And then from import select Gradle and your project would be imported. Then you have to click on Build Model to run it.
