Does Gradle support generating C++ projects for Eclipse? I’m trying to switch our project’s build system to use Gradle. A part of our project is written in Java and the other side is written in C++ (static libraries, shared libraries, and executables).

In general, using Buildship should allow you to use either the core native plugins or the Nokee plugins ([https://nokee.dev](https://nokee.dev)) as it will be using the Tooling APIs. However, it will be limited to task execution only. I doubt the auto-complete will be functional for native. If it’s something that is useful to you and your team, we can talk about adding the feature in Nokee.
