Hi all,

I've made a concerted first attempt at replacing the ant build with gradle 
building within Eclipse.
Check out branch  (I recommend you do this in a different repo dir than your 
usual, in case eclipse gets confused)

task/JAL-3225_Integration_Gradle_building_into_Eclipse

and in Eclipse go to File->Import... Gradle/Existing Gradle Project  [Next >] 
[Next >], enter the Project root directory, [Finish], cross fingers
to have a go.  You may need to install the Eclipse plugin Bbuildship Gradle 
Integration 3.0" first, but with some luck Eclipse will suggest this when you 
import.


As usual, the documentation was a bit scattered, and also not unusually it 
didn't seem to be as straightforward as the scattered documentation suggested.  
Not only is the Eclipse gradle plugin required, but a Gradle eclipse plugin is 
also needed...

To run a specific task, go to the "Gradle Tasks" tab in the pane that sits at 
the bottom right of my Eclipse window (use _your_ Eclipse window though), and 
find it in either the build or distribution folders.

Two things that still need to be done:

1) test dir not happy. It needs to be happy.
2) Formatting.  I made a new eclipse project file so have not yet configured it 
to reformat files in the same way.  I suspect it would be easy to copy 
configuration from old project file to new, but haven't looked yet.  Any 
pointers welcome.

There's an issue JAL-3225 I'm keeping updated.
