Hi,

I have a multi project build with the following Gradle root script:

subprojects {
    apply plugin: 'java'

    dependencies {
        testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    }

    task hello {
    	doLast {
    		print "hello"
    	}
    }
}

The setting file includes two subprojects: webservice and shared.
From the command line if I execute:

$ ./gradlew :webservice:tasks

------------------------------------------------------------
All tasks runnable from project :webservice

hello

As you can see ā€œhelloā€ is listed as Other tasks.
If I import the project to Eclipse (Luna) using Buildship 1.0.6, the Gradle Tasks View is missing such task.
I am using using Gradle 2.8, if it helps.

Thanks

Hi Jonathan

By default, Buildship only shows the public tasks. Public tasks are defined as those which belong to a non-null group. If you want to see the private tasks, too, click on the little arrow in the upper right-hand corner of the tasks View and adjust the filter to include ā€˜non-publicā€™ tasks.
