And so it would appear, buildship is currently useless in my situation. I must have the ability to import a multiproject, with each subprobject visible ONLY as a subdirectory. I cannot use a setup in which the subprojects are separate Eclipse projects. What I require is a setup that treats subprojects exactly as command-line Gradle treats them. I understand that this may or may not be possible, given the constraints of Eclipse. And so I must use Eclipse only as an editor and import these beasts as General projects only.
Is mine a use case that Buildship plans to support?
