I am using Eclipse Neon .2 (version 4.6.2) on Windows with Buildship plugin installed from Eclipse marketplace. When I tried to import a gradle project, I see this problem. The synchronization with gradle project stops with the following message.

"Synchronizing Gradle projects with with workspace failed due to an error configuring Eclipse . org.eclipse.core.internal.resources.Resource Exception: A resource exists with a different case:’/web’.

I suspect this is due to Windows nature of case insensitivity. Can you help?

2

Which Buildship version are you using? Can you try the latest (2.0.1)?

3

Thanks for the tip!

I was using 2.0 version of Buildship. But, now upgraded to 2.0.1, But the result is identical.

4

Can you make sure there are no preexisting .project files before you import?

Yes, Stefan! Infact I deleted the whole directory, cloned entire project from bitbucket and imported it as gradle project. The result is almost same. The minor difference being the line # where there are throwing errors. See the stack trace below:

It looks like this is related to https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=479609

Could you provide a little example project on GitHub that I could use to reproduce the issue?
