I'm having various Gradle problems after a new clean Eclipse install.
They seem to be associated w/ this "Problem" message:
Could not run phased build action using connection to Gradle distribution 'https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.1.1-bin.zip'.

I've already tried deleting .gradle & "Gradle->Refresh Gradle Project".
I've also tried this:

My Java install is clean:
java version "16.0.1" 2021-04-20
& confirmed Eclipse is pointing to it ("Preferences->Java->Installed JREs").
Installation details:

Thanks to LMC. I changed the project prefs->Gradle from Wrapper to Specific=7.1.1 :
I have updated my gradle-warpper.properties file with
distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.4.1-bin.zip
from
distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.6.2-bin.zip
and refresh the gradlew project in eclipse. It's build successfull
Note : Java 11 version is installed in my machine
Change your gradle.properties file
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.0.2-all.zip
And build.gradle file
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.0.0'
}
In my case, it was because Eclipse was running upon a JVM that was different from the one used by my local Gradle.
I edited the eclipse.ini file so that Eclipse would run on the same JVM as my local Gradle (i.e. the one pointed by JAVA_HOME) and it worked!
I began to get errors after downloading Nodeclipse and creating a Gradle project with New Gradle Project -- sample project "Java Quickstart". Whenever I re-open Eclipse, I get this error:
"Updating Maven Dependencies" has encountered a problem. An internal
error occurred during: "Updating Maven Dependencies".
org/eclipse/m2e/core/internal/project/registry/ProjectRegistryRefreshJob$1
I have never used Maven, but I tried to investigate the error. When I try to open Preferences > Maven, or most (but not all) of its subfolders, I get:
Unable to create the selected preference page. An error occurred while
automatically activating bundle org.eclipse.m2e.core.ui (545).
I looked on Maven Central and there is no m2e folder in org/eclipse. I also looked in Eclipse/features for pom.xml files and I have folders starting with org.eclipse.m2e, but no org.eclipse.m2e.core.ui.
Edit:
I created a new workspace and got the same error message as soon as I created a New Gradle Project based on Java Quickstart sample project. I did this twice and the second time Eclipse logged an error. Some relevant lines from the stack trace:
Exception:org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Exception in org.eclipse.m2e.core.internal.MavenPluginActivator.start() of bundle org.eclipse.m2e.core
Exception:java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/eclipse/m2e/core/internal/project/registry/ProjectRegistryRefreshJob$1

First try to build your project from command line.
Enide 2015 by Nodeclipse has built-in Terminal Ctrl+Alt+T
run gradle build
or right-click build.gradle Run as -> gradle build
Then see and think
You are building with Gradle, so don't look at Maven preferences, but Gradle one.
Possibly you confused Gradle and Maven and made wrong preferences, you can try again in new workspace.
I am using Eclipse as my IDE and want to build a maven program, but I see that neither my maven clean or maven install is working
For maven clean,I get the error:- "Failed to parse plugin descriptor for
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-clean-plugin:2.4.1 "
I also tried the help mentioned in the link
[ERROR] For more information about the errors and possible solutions, please
read the following articles:
[ERROR] [Help 1]
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN/PluginDescriptorParsingException
but it is not helping
Also my maven install is not working,it shows the following error:
] Failed to parse plugin descriptor for org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:2.5
I had tried all the approaches mentioned in similar issues which include deleting the directories u nder .m2 folder, deleting .m2 folder, re-installing apache-maven on my system but nothing is working.
And when I run the same maven program under intelliJ, I could see the jar names but when I click on them it shows no contents which means they are not getting downloaded properly...'
So not able to work on my java maven project.Please help.
what is the fix for such environmental issues.
Even I tried re-installing eclipse, intelli J but nothing helps.
The issue got resolved by following the steps mentioned at:
https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/MVNCENTRAL-299
try to download appropriate maven version from https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi. and follow installaion steps mentioned.
set the "M2_HOME" and "MAVEN_HOME" as environment variables pointing to maven installation directory.restart your machine.
set the maven settings in eclipse through preferences tab.
I am running Eclipse Luna on OS X with Gradle IDE 3.6.1 and anytime I try to select a project from the gradle tasks panel I get the following error:
org.eclipse.osgi.internal.framework.EquinoxConfiguration$1
Could not fetch model of type 'EclipseProject' using Gradle distribution
'https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.0-bin.zip'.
Has anyone else run into this error? I can get to the URL specified to download the file myself. So, network connectivity shouldn't be the problem.
The problem is for the java version configured by default on the IDE (Eclipse or Spring Tool Suite). The error is the following:
To fix it, you can set the Java version supported by the Gradle version in Configure Workspace Setting option.
Finally, you can refresh your project o continue with your creation. Later all will be perfect.
I had the same error in Eclipse Neon (version numbers were different, but otherwise same error). It looks like several different things can cause this error, but for me it was an incorrect property in [MyProject]/.settings/org.eclipse.buildship.core.prefs.
I had
connection.gradle.distribution=GRADLE_DISTRIBUTION(WRAPPER)
but it needed to be
connection.gradle.distribution=GRADLE_DISTRIBUTION(VERSION(2.13))
2.13 should be replaced with whatever version number output you get from gradle -version.
Coming back to add this:
It turns out, the actual root problem was an incompatibility between Gradle versions. My build.gradle file worked fine with an old version of Gradle, but uses things that were deprecated and removed in later versions.
Solution is to click Finish immediately in the wizard instead of Next, and then fix the issues in the build.gradle.
Bad reference in config.
Overwrite configuration:
Project -> Properties -> Gradle -> Override workspace settings ->
Specific Gradle version -> 4.x
You need to update Gradle
Goto:
Select 'Help > About Eclipse' (on Macs this is 'Eclipse > About Eclipse').
Click the 'Installation Details' button to display the installation details dialog. Look in the 'Installed Software' tab to see all the installed plugins.
Search for Gradle(Eclipse Plug-ins for Gradle) and Update.
It might take some time for first time after that.
Reason why it happens, cause new version of gradle is available to download. Once you download new version of gradle, your error will go away.

I had the same error message using Eclipse 4.5
In my case the build file was having a error and I had to modify this line
eclipse.classpath {
plusConfigurations += configurations.providedCompile
}
into this
eclipse.classpath {
plusConfigurations += [configurations.providedCompile]
}
After that everything worked again.
I met the same problem, somebody suggested that the gradle project may be build by a old version.
I solve the problem by the following step:
modify the configuration in Eclipse, perfrence ->gradle ->gradle distribution . point it to an older version.
delete the file in ./gradle/wrapper
reload the program
In my case, I forgot to put ending apostrophe ' for a value
I ran into a similar issue recently - even blowing away the project and repulling a fresh copy from git didn't fix it. I realized it wasn't specific to the project when I reproduced it outside of Eclipse:
$ ./gradlew tasks
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Expecting a stack map frame
Exception Details:
Location:
build_euvk0e0guiuwrf8fgn8svi2fy.run()Ljava/lang/Object; #16: aconst_null
Reason:
Error exists in the bytecode
Bytecode:
0x0000000: 2abb 0022 592a 2ab7 0025 ba00 3300 00b0
0x0000010: 01b0
What did fix it was removing the gradle cache:
$ rm -r ~/.gradle/caches
$ ./gradlew tasks
Somehow the version of gradle there had become corrupted (possibly related to Eclipse groovy plugin - I had this issue regularly until uninstalling it), and blowing it away forced it to get a fresh copy.
Hopefully this answer helps someone else avoid pulling out their hair.
I had a very similar issue and removing the following from my build.gradle fixed it. The same bit of config works in all other Gradle projects I have but for some reason not this one...
allprojects {
...
apply plugin: 'eclipse-wtp'
...
// remove this eclipse config to make the error go away
eclipse {
classpath { defaultOutputDir = file('build-eclipse') }
}
...
}
Open the CMD and enter there gradle --gui, change the settings of the gradle gui in the register Setup to Stack trace Output: Full Stack trace [-S] and the log level to info. Then change the current directory to the directory your build.gradle file is located and then go to the first register and let process the gui this files.
An error message should be displayed. There you find out what is wrong with your build.gradle file. In my case there was a folder missing and this causes this error.
This error can also be caused by a syntax error in the previous line of build.gradle. If so, the error has nothing to do with the Gradle or Eclipse version you are running. See this question
In my case i changed the Gradle version from 4.7.rc2 to4.6 and then it started to work.
I am on eclipse Oxygen (4.7.2), I was getting similar exception while importing the project and this worked for me:
While importing on windows Import Options
Click Configure Workspace Setting (which will take to preference window)
Select Local Installation directory (for me 'graddle wrapper' was selected)
apply, close and continue import
Below is the error I was getting
Loading Gradle project preview failed due to an error in the referenced Gradle build.

None of the solutions worked for me and I'm having the same errors on STS 4 with eclipse Version: 2.2.600.v20190605-1800. My steps were:
Delete the project from my workspace
./gradlew cleanEclipseWtp cleanEclipse eclipseWtp eclipse
Import the project as an existing eclipse project (not an existing gradle import)
That worked!
Deleting .gradle folder from the project resolved my problem.
I got this error with Eclipse 2021-06, Java 1.8.0, gradle 4.4.
I tried deleting gradle wrapper binary folder, predefining gradle version, etc.
The thing that helped was just specifying gradle home directory and java home directory after selecting overriding workspace configuration.
Eclipse 4.4.1 broke Gradle Eclipse support with non-string values in system properties.This is fixed in the latest Gradle for the 3.6.2 release. Update your Gradle form this update-site: http://dist.springsource.com/snapshot/TOOLS/gradle/nightly
I am running Windows 7. The following code works in Groovy Console:
def fileEx = new File(/Y:\Documents\Test File.txt/)
def copyToFile = new File(/Y:\Documents\Test File - Copied by Groovy and Ant.txt/)
ant = new AntBuilder()
ant.copy(file:fileEx, tofile:copyToFile)
but when I try to run it as a Groovy Script in Eclipse, I get this error:
Caught: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/tools/ant/BuildException
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/tools/ant/BuildException
at copyFile.run(copyFile.groovy:4)
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.tools.ant.BuildException
I have tried adding ant.jar to myclasspath, both the ant.jar in the Groovy lib folder and the one in the Eclipse plugins lib folder, but this does not solve the problem.
Looks like groovy-eclipse plugin ships with a subset of libraries a full install of groovy does. You'll want a full install of groovy, which you may already have, in addition to the eclipse plugin.
You should be able to solve your problem by going to your project, and going to Properties->Java Build Path, then click 'Libraries'. 'Add External Jars' and navigate to your full groovy installation. Under there, the lib directory should have the ant.jar and ant-launcher.jar. Add them both. This should clear this up (and queue up the underlying problem for debugging).
