Is there any Gradle eclipse IDE integration?

Question

i'm looking for an eclipse ide integration for gradle. I've installed the gradle editor from
http://www.breskeby.com/downloads/gradle/eclipse/update/

But this is far away from what i expect from an ide integration. It provides only some syntax highlighting. No auto completion, error mark, task list, etc.

Is there any real ide integration for eclipse?

The SpringSource Tool Suite includes Gradle support.

See http://static.springsource.org/sts/docs/2.7.0.M1/reference/html/gradle/faq.html for some information, though it is a bit out-of-date. Better support was added in STS 2.8.0.

http://www.springsource.com/landing/best-development-tool-enterprise-java for downloading STS.

You can install STS into your Eclipse installation and Gradle support along with it, if you don't want to start from the STS release.

Looks like the STS team extracted the plugin into stand alone module https://github.com/SpringSource/eclipse-integration-gradle/

Solution 3

Nodeclipse also has Gradle for Eclipse that runs gradle. That lets use gradle with any project (Java, Maven, C++, Android)

There is also Minimalist Editor for .gradle files

This can be used where Pivotal (former SpringSource) Gradle IDE can't be used yet.

Both can be installed together via Gradle IDE Pack

The Buildship project from Gradleware provides great Eclipse integration. See https://github.com/eclipse/buildship for its homepage and http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/EclipseGradle/article.html for an introduction.

That is far the same as the one on breskeby.com It is very disappointing that there is nothing better.

Are you sure? Is the plugin the one you see here? youtube.com/watch?v=1koQ2V920qE STS has a different one. It isn't perfect, but it's not bad at all, similar in approach to the m2e plugin (maven support).

Yes, i mean that one. I've tried it again. STS 2.8.1 and also directly update into eclipse indigo.

The plugin in the video above is not STS gradle support.

[Cengiz]

Yes, it is the one from breskeby.com. The task list is only available on run configuration. It does not have a useful auto completion. You cannot configure your own version of gradle. You must use the elder version 1.0-milestone-3...

The Buildship is replacing the STS plug-in. I am moving from STS Gradle to Buildship.
