You are the first one on this list :)
How is it expected to integrate gradle multiproject with eclipse?
Say I have
"myproject", "myproject/A" and "myproject/B", which are fine with
gradle,
but eclipse needs all projects as direct children of the workspace,
so you
should checkout "A" and "B" directly into the workspace, where
"myproject"
files are _not_ located.
Am I missing something?
No. This is in fact a problem. Not just for Gradle, also for a couple
of Maven plugins. There are two ways to deal with this:
- Change the multi-project layout: Right now Gradle only accepts
hierarchical layouts. In the near future we want to support arbitrary
multi-project layout. But right now you can't change the layout.
- Tweak Eclipse: I have done this in in a large enterprise Maven
build and it has worked reliably. It works like this:
Provided there is a hierarchical project in svn. You check out the
top level dir into Eclipse as a non Java Project (Simple project). If
the .project Eclipse files are not in svn you have to generate them.
As we don't provide a plugin for generating Eclipse project files yet
this has to be done by hand. If the Eclipse project files of the
subprojects are created you delete the .project file of the top level
project. Than you are able to import the subprojects. After the
import, as soon as you do some operations on the top-level project,
Eclipse creates the .project file again automatically. But this is no
problem, as you have already imported your subprojects. Without
deleting the .project file, Eclipse would not allow to import the
subprojects. It is big limitation of Eclipse not to support
hierarchical layouts.
I can't offer you anything better at the moment.

Thanks in advance,
Ignacio.
