Eclipse not recognizing project as Gradle Project - eclipse

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.

Created a Gradle project in Eclipse but Refresh Dependencies is missing

I just created a new Gradle project in Eclipse. As I understand it, the first thing to do now is to right click the project → Gradle → Refresh Dependencies - but I don't see that option. The only option I have is Refresh Gradle project.
What am I missing? I have the Buildship Gradle Integration 3.0 installed. Do I need something else?
My goal is to add a dependency. I think I have seen that, if I can perform this Refresh Dependencies command, I should be able to browse repositories in a GUI?
I have read several tutorials, e.g., https://www.vogella.com/tutorials/EclipseGradle/article.html but it doesn't seem to relate to my problem.

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.

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.

Eclipse intellisense with gradle

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.

Import existing Gradle Git project into Eclipse

I've installed eclipse gradle plugin from here
http://kaczanowscy.pl/tomek/2010-03/gradle-ide-integration-eclipse-plugin
Is there a simple way to import into eclipse gradle project using gui, not doing stuff
described here: http://gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/eclipse_plugin.html
?

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.

There is a simplest and quick way to import a Gradle project into Eclipse.
Just download the Gradle plugin for Eclipse from here.
https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/gradle-integration-eclipse-0
And then from import select Gradle and your project would be imported. Then you have to click on Build Model to run it.
EDIT
Above link for Gradle plugin is no more valid. You can use the link as mentioned in the comment by #vikramvi
https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/buildship-gradle-integration

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

The simpliest way is to use sts gradle integration and import project
http://static.springsource.org/sts/docs/2.7.0.M1/reference/html/gradle/gradle-sts-tutorial.html
Don't forget to click "Build Model" button.

You can do the following steps:
Install the Buildship Gradle Integration using the Eclipse Marketplace. Simply type Buildship and click on search item. Now click on Install.
Click on File -> Import ▸ Existing Gradle Project.
Navigate to project root directory.
Click on a finish to load your project.
Might be it will take some time for the first time to import Gradle project. So please be patient on it.

Open eclipse and right click in the package explorer → import
Select gradle
Browse to the location where you checked out
Click “Build Model”
Select all the projects and hit finish

Go to the GitHub page where they are maintain the official repository:
https://github.com/spring-projects/eclipse-integration-gradle/blob/master/README.md
Copy the latest release link:
http://dist.springsource.com/release/TOOLS/gradle (latest release)
Use this in Eclipse->Help->Install New Software..->Paste the link in "Work With"->press enter->select the names of the extension->click next and agree the license and follow the prompts.
After you have installed just import the project as a grade project and eclipse will take of the rest.

I use another Eclipse plugin to import existing gradle projects.
You can install the Builship Gradle Gntegration 2.0 using the Eclipse Marketplace client.
Then you choose FIle ▸ Import ▸ Existing Gradle Project.
Finially, indicate your project root directory and click finish.

As of the time of answering this, Eclipse Version: 2020-06 (4.16.0) has a File --> Import --> Gradle --> Existing gradle project menu option.You can use this option to import gradle project into Eclipse directly.

Add the following to your build.gradle
apply plugin: 'eclipse'
and browse to the project directory
gradle eclipse
Once done, you could import the project from eclipse as simple Java Project.
