I am trying to import elasticsearch into an Eclipse workspace using the import gradle project feature. However, I am receiving the following error:

Synchronize Gradle builds with workspace failed due to an error configuring Eclipse.
Cannot add nature org.eclipse.jdt.groovy.core.groovyNature to Eclipse project :build-tools.

Problems encountered while setting project description.
org.eclipse.buildship.core.GradlePluginsRuntimeException: Cannot add nature org.eclipse.jdt.groovy.core.groovyNature to Eclipse project :build-tools.
