Buildship plugin does not import project correctly

many subprojects will have the same names as other subprojects of different parents

That’s easy to fix using something like

if (project != rootProject) {
eclipse.project.name = (rootProject.name + project.path).replaceAll(‘:’, ‘-’)
}

This will make sure all your projects have long, unlikely-to-clash names. You just need to make sure the root projects have unique names.

Hi, Stefan, at long last I come back to this and I am trying to follow your suggestion, which gives me the following error:

Synchronize Gradle builds with workspace failed due to an error in the referenced Gradle build.
Could not fetch model of type ‘EclipseProject’ using Gradle distribution ‘https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.12-bin.zip’.

Build file ‘C:\Users\SC1478\git\transw\transw\rms64\build.gradle’ line: 10
A problem occurred evaluating project ‘:rms64’.
Could not find property ‘eclipse’ on project ‘:rms64’.

where line 10 is your suggested:

eclipse.project.name = (rootProject.name + project.path).replaceAll(':', '-')

What else is required to make this work?

Thanks.
