Hi Ismael,

Thanks for your response. I agree this is not a Kafka issue, its about gradle and its eclipse plugin. I was able to resolve the compile errors in Eclipse by manually setting the Default output folder for core project to core/build/classes/main.

I understand Eclipse is not the popular choice for an IDE but, for me and my other Eclipse brethren, I looked into the problems I faced and noticed that the output folders for gradle and those for eclipse get configured differently. The output folders in eclipse go under <project>/bin where as in gradle they are under <project>/build. Due to this the projects in Eclipse don't work fine unless the command line build is completed at least once. Will it be fine if we could align these so that inter project dependencies fall well in place in either build? *I was looking into the possibilities of fixing that and I have a change available that I am testing out.*

There is another discussion on the pros and cons of this here https://discuss.gradle.org/t/eclipse-generated-files-should-be-put-in-the-same-place-as-the-gradle-generated-files/6986

People, please let me know your opinion and I will provide a PR for this if I get this working for myself.

thanks

Hi Dhwani,

This is more about Gradle and Eclipse than Kafka and many of us use
IntelliJ IDEA so won't be able to help you. I can confirm that IntelliJ is
able to import the project fine out of the box.

Hi,

I am trying to setup the eclipse dev environment on trunk. I have followed
the instructions given here
https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/README.md
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Developer+
Setup#DeveloperSetup-Eclipsesetup

After I run ./gradlew eclipse in the command line followed by "Import
existing projects into workspace" in Eclipse, I am able to see the
projects. But I see the following build errors in Eclipse.

Description: The import kafka.utils.ShutdownableThread cannot be resolved
Resource: Consumer.java
Path: /kafka-examples/src/main/java/kafka/examples
Location: line 19
Type: Java Problem

There are other errors as well but they are of a similar nature and others
dependent on them. I can see the class ShutdownableThread in core and core
is compiled properly. The examples project has core setup as  dependency
project which seems correct. Also the command line build works just fine.

Also I don't see any .class files generated under core/bin. They are
present under core/build/classes/main/ though. Is this due to some kind of
mismatch between the command line build and Eclipse build?

Could you please suggest what am I missing here.

Environment:
- Eclipse Neon
- Java 1.7
- Scala 2.10.6
- CentOS 6.8

thanks
