After updating gradle wrapper from 7.2 to 8.9 buildship reports a problem in one of the subprojects

Synchronize Gradle projects with workspace failed due to an unexpected error.

Java Model Exception: Error in Java Model (code 964): Cannot nest ‘com.exoknox.fdm.shared/src/main/resources/com/exoknox/fdm/shared/util’ inside ‘com.exoknox.fdm.shared/src/main/resources’. To enable the nesting exclude ‘com/’ from ‘com.exoknox.fdm.shared/src/main/resources’

I’m using Buildship: Eclipse Plug-ins for Gradle 3.1.9.v20240116-1515

It is very inconvenient as it looks like the Project and external dependencies are not updated correctly.

Below you see the error from the log.

Marcel

Can you provide a minimal reproducible example?

Hi @MarcelRueedi

The _gradle-git-properties_ plugin configures a second source folder `src/main/resources/com/karakun/shared/util` to the existing folder `src/main/resources`:

> <https://github.com/n0mer/gradle-git-properties/blob/bb1c3353bb570495644b6c6c75e211296a8354fc/src/main/groovy/com/gorylenko/GitPropertiesPlugin.groovy#L36-L40>

This is probably not intended an cannot handled by Eclipse:

> Cannot nest ‘com.karakun.shared/src/main/resources/com/karakun/shared/util’ inside ‘com.karakun.shared/src/main/resources’.

From the description of the plugin:

```gradle
// Customize file name (could be a file name or a relative file path below gitPropertiesResourceDir dir)
gitPropertiesName = "my-git-file.properties"

```

Using `gitPropertiesName` instead of `gitPropertiesResourceDir` no additional folder will be introduced:

```gradle
gitProperties {
    // gitPropertiesResourceDir = file("${sourceSets.main.resources.srcDirs[0]}/com/karakun/shared/util")
    gitPropertiesName = "com/karakun/shared/util/git.properties"

    // [...]
}

```

Hi @oleosterhagen  
Thanks for your help. As we need the file to be in the resources directory the solution is actually this.

```
gitPropertiesResourceDir = file("${sourceSets.main.resources.srcDirs[0]}")
gitPropertiesName = "/com/karakun/shared/util/git.properties"

```

Unfortunately - this seems only working on windows  
linux/macs get  
Execution failed for task ‘:com.exoknox.fdm.shared:generateGitProperties’. org.gradle.api.UncheckedIOException: Failed to create parent directory ‘/com’ when creating directory ‘/com/exoknox/fdm/shared/util’
