Creation of Source Folder during eclipse task

Help/Discuss
1

Hi, when i try to execute “eclipse” task it automatically creates the following source folder:

src/main/java
src/main/resources
src/test/java
src/test/resources

Is there a way to exclude the creation of “src/main/resources” and “src/test/resources” during eclipse task? how? thanks

Which version of Gradle are you using? It definitely should not create these directories.

im using gradle 2.11…

bwt below is my the script in my build.gradle:

buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
mavenCentral()

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.bmuschko:gradle-tomcat-plugin:2.0'

}

}

apply plugin: 'eclipse’
eclipse {
classpath {
downloadSources=true
}
}

apply plugin: 'java’
compileJava.options.encoding = 'UTF-8’

i added the code below and it works

delete(‘src/main/resources’)
delete(‘src/test/resources’)

eclipse {
classpath {
delete(‘src/main/resources’)
delete(‘src/test/resources’)
downloadSources=true
}
}

Again, the eclipse plugin does not create these folders. There must be something else going on in your build.

Your solution will delete those folders every time you try to invoke gradle (because you are executing it during configuration time). I urge you to remove it from your build script.

Please create a small, reproducible example project, so we can see where the problem is. I tried out your buildscript above and I cannot reproduce the problem.
