It seems that Gradle was not download properly or that the .zip file is corrupted, see the error :
Caused by: java.util.zip.ZipException: error in opening zip file
at java.util.zip.ZipFile.open(Native Method)
at java.util.zip.ZipFile.<init>(Unknown Source)
at java.util.zip.ZipFile.<init>(Unknown Source)
at java.util.zip.ZipFile.<init>(Unknown Source)
Go in the distribution folder and try to open the zip file to see if it has been corrupted. The directory should be something like this :
~/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-3.4.1-bin/hash.../gradle-3.4.1-bin.zip
If the zip file is corrupted, try downloading the file manually in put it in the same folder and then restart eclipse.
If it still not working, try removing all the Gradle cache by removing the .gradle folder in your home and project directory.
