It seems like you might be running gradle 0.8 instead of the 0.9 preview release. You will be happier on 0.9 and the apply syntax should work then. There are several significant API changes (from my perspective) between 0.8 and 0.9... so it's worth starting from 0.9.

Here was the original announcement:

I tried creating a build.gradle containing apply plugin: 'eclipse' but when I type gradle at the command line in a directory containing that file I get a failure: Caused by: org.gradle.api.internal.MissingMethodException: Could not find method apply() for arguments [{plugin=eclipse}] on root project 'tester'.

I'm not sure from the doc if I need to install a seperate plugin or not....:-(

These things are never easy. I hate it when project setup takes over form starting the project!

Cheers,

Tom.

    apply plugin: 'eclipse'

    http://www.gradle.org/latest/docs/userguide/eclipse_plugin.html

    Or http://www.gradle.org/latest/docs/userguide/idea_plugin.html for
    the IntelliJ Plugin

    It's the same layout as maven.
