Working with:

_Eclipse Buildship Buildship, Eclipse Plug-ins for Gradle 3.1.4.v20200326-1743 org.eclipse.buildship_

And having the following global Gradle configuration:

When I try to import an existing Gradle project

**Note/Observation** from above should appear _by default_ all the global gradle configuration, _it to indicate the developer that the global settings are being reused_, I think it is very important.

Just playing if I do clic in the _Configure Workspace Settings_ link appears again the expected Gradle global configuration

When the Gradle project should be imported, practically the settings are ignored, observe the following figure

**Note/Observation** it happens even if I check the `Override workspace settings` checkbox and repeat the same data

The problem is, always appears the following:
