Is there somewhere a working (old) gradle plugin for Eclipse helios (3.6)?

Hello,

I’m forced to used Rational Application Developer 8.5. RAD 8.5 is based on Eclipse 3.6. I tried to install the gradle plugin but it gave me errors like (from error log view): Problems occurred when invoking code from plug-in: “org.eclipse.jface”. java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: INSTANCE at org.springsource.ide.eclipse.gradle.core.GradleCore.migrateLegacyPreferences(GradleCore.java:132) at org.springsource.ide.eclipse.gradle.core.GradleCore.getPreferences(GradleCore.java:125) … It seems that the current gradle eclipse plugin is only working for Eclipse 3.7 and above. Is there somewhere a downloadable plugin that is working with Eclipse 3.6. Maybe a gradle plugin version < 3.0?

Thanks in advance!

Frank

I’d try to install an STS version that works with Eclipse 3.6 (e.g. 2.9.2), and then install the Gradle plugin as an STS extension. As far as I know, you only need to install STS core, not the whole thing.

Alternatively, you could also ask in the STS forum.

Many thanks! Your solution was correct!
