Eclipse plugin missing some entries for C/C++ projects

I expect running gradle eclipse would generate a project file with some C/C++ builSpec and natures

Perhaps something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<projectDescription>
        <name>myLib</name>
        <comment></comment>
        <projects>
        </projects>
        <buildSpec>
                <buildCommand>
                        <name>org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.builder</name>
                        <arguments>
                        </arguments>
                </buildCommand>
                <buildCommand>
                        <name>org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.genmakebuilder</name>
                        <triggers>clean,full,incremental,</triggers>
                        <arguments>
                        </arguments>
                </buildCommand>
                <buildCommand>
                        <name>org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.ScannerConfigBuilder</name>
                        <triggers>full,incremental,</triggers>
                        <arguments>
                        </arguments>
                </buildCommand>
        </buildSpec>
        <natures>
                <nature>org.eclipse.cdt.core.cnature</nature>
                <nature>org.eclipse.cdt.core.ccnature</nature>
                <nature>org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.managedBuildNature</nature>
                <nature>org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.ScannerConfigNature</nature>
                <nature>org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.nature</nature>
        </natures>
</projectDescription>

Instead this is all I get:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<projectDescription>
        <name>myLib</name>
        <comment/>
        <projects/>
        <natures/>
        <buildSpec/>
        <linkedResources/>
</projectDescription>

Also I do not get any .cproject file, just one .project
