Trying to update an existing Eclipse .classpath with gradle’s eclipse task, I get duplicate source entries when the old source entry had an excluding attribute. Eclipse then complains that the build path contains duplicate entry ‘src’.
Yes, the settings are old and I don’t need .svn anymore. No, .DS_Store is not in the SCM, but it’s still in the list of excluded folders for Eclipse. But you are missing the point. The question is not why I want to exclude what. The question is why the eclipse plugin cannot handle these valid settings and generates an invalid .classpath file.
