Can I get gradle to update my existing Eclipse project?
eclipse, gradle, logback
Solution
I think what you are looking for is Gradle Eclipse Plugin.
Just add `apply plugin: 'eclipse'` at the beginning of your `build.gradle` and then try running `gradle eclipse`. This will generate all eclipse settings files based on your gradle set-up.
If you need to just generate `.classpath` you can do so by running `gradle eclipseClasspath`.
Problem
I'm new to Gradle, so please excuse me if this question seems naive or simple. My eclipse project exists and works well and I want to add Logback for my logging. It is easy enough to get the dependencies set up in build.gradle... ``` dependencies { groovy group: 'org.codehaus.groovy', name: 'groovy', version: '1.8.3' // Logback dependencies compile 'org.slf4j:slf4j-api:1.6.4' compile 'ch.qos.logback:logback-core:1.0.3' compile 'ch.qos.logback:logback-classic:1.0.3' } ``` ...and this allows my build to succeed, but how can I get it to update the "Referenced Libraries" section of my eclipse project? In other words, can I get gradle to update eclipse's .classpath adding the appropriate entries for any new libraries that are brought in via the gradle dependencies? As it currently stands, I have to figure out where in ~/.gradle the dependencies became JAR files and by hand I create Reference Libraries to point at them. Yuk. There has to be a way to automate this.
