Eclipse intellisense with gradle - eclipse

when I edit build.gradle file in eclipse I want to have intellisense to help me of words completion. How can I do that?

SpringSource has a Gradle plug-in, which would get you that.
Prior to installing the Gradle Plug-in, I think I just used Preferences to always open build.gradle the Groovy Editor after I added a Groovy Nature to my project.

Building a groovy project in eclipse

I have imported a groovy project in my eclipse and I have installed the groovy plugins in my eclipse too. now, I want to build my project(which is a groovy-gradle plugin) in eclipse and use it further. I have gone through a link http://www.selikoff.net/2013/01/11/creating-a-groovy-project-with-gradle-in-eclipse/ but I don't understand how to build my project. I don't get build option.
Install the gradle plugins.
Some tasks will be available in the tasks Window.
Right click on build task and run it.

Gradle syntax in Eclipse - fix indentation

I installed Gradle Integration for Eclipse, Groovy and other Gradle-related plugins from Eclipse Market place, but I cannot get Eclipse to detect .gradle files.
I need this to format (indentation, tabs, etc.) the file in Eclipse. Is there an alternative other than trying on IntelliJ IDEA?

Is there a Gradle plugin for Eclipse Luna?

I'm trying to integrate Eclipse Luna with Gradle.
Eclipse Integration Gradle GitHub page includes instructions for Installing Gradle Tooling from update site.
I followed the instructions for the release (stable) version.
After I selected all the components (as shown below) I proceeded with installation.
It didn't go as expected and brought me to the Install Remediation Page (below) that showed that only Gradle IDE component could be installed. ( Click here for larger image).
At this point I'm not sure what caused the problem and what to do about.
The plugin you are using is wrong. There is an update for Luna here.
You can alternatively install the plugin directly within eclipse with this integration link.
Gradleware now offers direct support for the Eclipse IDE. See http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/EclipseGradle/article.html for an introduction.
In addition to plugin memtioned by #Campiador. You must have supported project nature in your eclipse's .project file in order for your project to show up in "Gradle Tasks" view.
See following example:
Add one or more natures in build.gradle file:
eclipse.project {
natures 'org.springsource.ide.eclipse.gradle.core.nature', 'org.eclipse.jdt.core.javanature'
}
After this change, just run gradle eclipse command from your shell/command prompt. Newly generated .project will have proper natures in it. Just refresh your project in eclipse and now you will see your project in Gradle Tasks view.

Running Gradle inside Eclipse?

There appears to be an Eclipse plugin for Gradle, but no Gradle plugin for Eclipse...
Simply, I'd like to add a build.gradle to my Eclipse project, write its contents (including defining its dependencies), and then run it from inside Eclipse, the same way I can run Ant scripts from inside Eclipse.
When it runs, I'd expect the plugin to pull down all dependencies and make them available to my project's classpath in Eclipse.
If no such plugin exists, then I ask: what's the best way to develop in Eclipse, but keep your builds managed by Gradle? If I decide I need a new xyz.jar as a dependency for my code, how do I add it as a dependency in such a way that both Gradle and Eclipse will recognize it (and not throw compiler errors)?
Either use the IDE project generation approach (gradle eclipse), or use the Eclipse Gradle Integration. In both cases, you'll want to apply plugin: "eclipse".
The Gradle plugin for Eclipse is part of the Spring IDE. It understands the dependencies specified in the build script and makes those available in the .classpath.

Eclipse not recognizing project as Gradle Project

I want to build a project with gradle. I have included build.gradle in my project.
But eclipse is not recognizing it as gradle project and I can't build it. Can anybody give a solution for this.
I just had this problem in Spring Tool Suite.
Here's what I did.
Right-click on project for context menu.
Go to "Configure"
near the bottom of menu (for me)
Select sub-menu option of
"Convert to Gradle project".
Refresh project.
The imported project's build.gradle then appeared in the drop-down options of the Gradle view.
If you are using the Buildship Eclipse plugin for Gradle integration, you can try to add the following snippet into your build.gradle file:
eclipse {
project.natures 'org.eclipse.buildship.core.gradleprojectnature'
.....
}
Then run "gradle eclipse" to re-generate Eclipse project files and refresh your project in Eclipse.
In Eclipse Neon you:
Right-click on your project --> Configure --> Add Gradle Nature.
Your project will automatically refresh and you will see all the dependencies being downloaded by Gradle.
Eclipse doesn't have native support for Gradle. There's an eclipse plugin available from SpringSource in order to support Gradle in Eclipse, but the easiest way is to generate the eclipse project from gradle, following the documentation.
I had a similar problem, to get eclipse to recognize the Gradle project I added the Gradle nature and then I had to click on Gradle->Refresh All then the Gradle icon appeared and all dependencies were resolved.
Clicking on Enable Dependency Management before refreshing resulted in "This operation is not enabled" and all the Gradle menu options getting greyed out.
