Gradle IDE Pack

Install Pivotal Gradle IDE & Enide Gradle for Eclipse & EGradle Editor in one operation. This plugin set works in any Eclipse (from Neon downto 3.7.2). For Oxygen EGradle Editor was added, while EditBox excluded.

Included are:

- Gradle (STS) Integration for Eclipse by Pivotal (feature name is Gradle IDE) @GitHub

- Gradle for Eclipse by Nodeclipse/Enide @GitHub

- EGradle Editor for .gradle files. @ https://github.com/de-jcup/egradle ADDED. Newly included since October 2017 as it is better than still included :

- Minimalist Gradle Editor plugin @GitHub

- Nodeclipse EditBox for code blocks highlight. @GitHub

- StartExplorer for quick switch to command line @GitHub

- ZipEditor with some additions v1.1.2 to quickly look inside Gradle output: aar, apk, jar, war ... etc files

With Enide Gradle for Eclipse build.gradle file inside project would be enough. It can be created with Pivotal Gradle IDE; or by adding build.gradle file to other project (e.g. Maven, Classic Java or C/C++). With Pivotal Gradle IDE .project file is to have

    <nature>org.springsource.ide.eclipse.gradle.core.nature</nature>

that you get with File -> New -> Project -> Gradle / Gradle Project or File -> Import -> Gradle / Gradle Project You can do without Gradle IDE with command line

    $ gradle eclipse

then importing as existing project. Stone age of IDE: you would need to rerun `gradle eclipse` every time you update dependencies. But if you need just to take a look at a project, this way may suffice. (Some prefer the stability and predictability of generating Eclipse settings over having them managed inside eclipse with a plugin.)

Hints: When the same Gradle version is configured in Pivotal Gradle IDE, Enide Gradle and/or on system PATH, then daemon is reused. That will make build and task execution faster. Stackoverflow question -> Chapter 19.

Example:

 
Preferences ->
  Gradle ->
    Gradle distribution - Folder D:\Progs\gradle\gradle-1.11
  Gradle Enide->
    Gradle home to use D:\Progs\gradle\gradle-1.11
