Hi,

I am building my eclipse plugins and features with a selfwritten gradle plugin, which is not full featured, but met my needs in the past. I would have to make huge adaptions to use it with eclipse \>=4.5, so I asked myself, if I could use anything already provided from buildship. Do you build your eclipse features with gradle already, don’t you?  
Can I already use the gradle plugins that you are using? Do you have an example somewhere?

Happy to get a positive answer 🙂

Cheers  
Markus

Hi Markus

We build Buildship with Gradle. The entire project incl. the Gradle build scripts is available on GitHub.

There are several threads in this forum with the same question. Some of them provide additional information.
