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’.** _
org.eclipse.buildship.core.GradlePluginsRuntimeException: org.eclipse.core.internal.resources.ResourceException: A resource exists with a different case: ‘/web’.

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

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

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

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:

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