Either import the project using Gradle plugin installed into your Eclipse installation or generate Eclipse project files using ‘eclipse’ plugin that is part of Gradle distribution. I suggest you to take a look at documentation. [http://www.gradle.org/tooling](http://www.gradle.org/tooling) is a good starting point and there are few other that are likely to be at the top of search result from any decent search engine when queried for ‘eclipse gradle’. ---

I always used the eclipse task (from the Gradle GUI), because I could never get the Gradle plugin for the Groovy/Grails Tool Suite to work. ---

Hello All, Thanks for your reply ,As you suggest i used the Gradle Eclipse Plugin and insall it in my Eclipse by following the instruction from this link: [https://github.com/spring-projects/eclipse-integration-gradle/](https://github.com/spring-projects/eclipse-integration-gradle/) But When i supposed to import the Gradle based proejct into the eclipse getting error like this, - What went wrong: A problem occurred evaluating project ‘:clover-android-sdk’. \> SDK location not found. Define location with sdk.dir in the local.properties file or with an ANDROID\_HOME environment variable. Please Give me steps to import gradle proejct into the eclipse !!! ---

Android projects are not compatible with Eclipse Gradle plugin. There are various resources discussing this including [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17107014/is-it-possible-to-use-the-gradle-build-system-for-android-with-eclipse](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17107014/is-it-possible-to-use-the-gradle-build-system-for-android-with-eclipse) And definitely if you want to develop Android applications using Gradle you should look at documentation at [http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system](http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system) ---

My suggestion is to switch to Android Studio (or NetBeans can deal with that too). I thought that this is obvious from linked resources that Eclipse is not well supported at the moment (and it can really take a while before there is a support if there will be any).
