Buildship 1.0.9 is now available

Buildship 1.0.9 is now available. It brings support for Java compiler compliance settings and a new ‘clean import’ feature.

Buildship 1.0.9 is based on Gradle 2.11 which brings many enhancements itself.

Java compiler compliance settings

Buildship now reads the Java compiler compliance settings:

apply plugin: 'java'    

sourceCompatibility = '1.6'
targetCompatibility = '1.7'

And configures the following JDT settings accordingly:

  • Compiler compliance level
  • Source compatibility
  • .class files compatibility
  • JRE on the classpath

Note that this feature is only supported for projects using target Gradle version 2.11 or higher.

Clean Import

When importing a Gradle project into Eclipse, Buildship will now offer to overwrite existing .project and .classpath files, so that the configuration matches exactly what is specified in the Gradle build.

###Installation
Buildship 1.0.9 is available at the Eclipse Marketplace or at the eclipse.org update sites. Users with Buildship already installed can automatically update to the latest version.
