Hibernate Mapping files path for gradle and eclipse - eclipse

Question

I am using gradle builds for our build process and need eclipse for our development environment. Gradle expects the hibernate.cfg and .hbm files in a folder main/resources inside of the src folder. But eclipse expects it directly inside of src folder.
Gradle
- src
- main
- resources
hibernate.cfg
package/path/.hbm files
Eclipse
- src
hiberante.cfg
package/path/.hbm files
To get it working on eclipse I have modified the .cfg file to have mappings with the folder prefixed. But when I do a gradle build, the below hack fails and I get a 'org.hibernate.boot.MappingNotFoundException: Mapping (RESOURCE) not found : main/resources/com/mnox/database/hibernate/pojos/v2/Booking.hbm.xml :`
<mapping resource="main/resources/com/mnox/database/
EDIT 1
I tried the following, did not work for gradle.
To fix the issues I did the folllowing
I moved all the .hbm files from src/main/resources/package/path to src/package/path.
I retained the .cfg file in src/main/resources
In the .cfg file I ensured that the path was package/path/Booking.hbm.xml
Both Gradle and Eclipse now work.

apply plugin: 'java'
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
compile 'org.slf4j:slf4j-api:1.7.21'
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
//compile files('src/com/mnox/database/hibernate/pojos/v2')
}
jar {
baseName='databasepojos'
from ('src/com/mnox/database/hibernate/pojos/v2/*.xml')
// from ('build/classes/main')
}
sourceSets {
main {
java {
srcDir 'src'
//includes = 'src/com/mnox/database/hibernate/pojos/v2/**'
//includes = ["**/*.java"]
}
}
}
allprojects {
apply plugin: 'java'
sourceCompatibility = 1.7
targetCompatibility = 1.7
}
FileTree hbmfilesFrom = fileTree(dir: 'src/com/mnox/database/hibernate/pojos/v2/*.hbm.xml')
task copyHBMXMLFiles(type: Copy) {
from hbmfilesFrom
into 'build/main/resources/com/mnox/database/hibernate/pojos/v2'
}
EDIT 3
My .classpath file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<classpath>
<classpathentry kind="src" path="src"/>
<classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER">
<attributes>
<attribute name="owner.project.facets" value="java"/>
</attributes>
</classpathentry>
<classpathentry kind="output" path="build"/>
</classpath>

Answer 1

Assuming that your application and/or tests are referring to hibernate.cfg via the classpath all you need to do is make sure that src/main/resources is a classpath folder in both gradle and eclipse.
In gradle that's simple as this is the default
I'm not sure how you are generating your eclipse project but src should NOT be on the classpath. It should be src/main/resources plus the compiled classes directory.
I advise against manually creating an eclipse project for your gradle project
Do you know there's the buildship eclipse plugin?
Alternatively, do you know that you can generate .classpath and .project using the gradle plugin?
