A short post on Gradle-Eclipse integration.

Tested with Eclipse 3.5.2 (Galileo).

To enjoy editing your build.gradle files and running tasks using Eclipse IDE do the following:

Install Groovy plugin (as described here: Groovy Eclipse Plugin),
Install Eclipse Gradle plugin (use http://www.breskeby.com/downloads/gradle/eclipse/update/ as update site).

Now create build.gradle and enjoy !

Rene Groeschke (creator of the plugin) has uploaded a short movie on YouTube so you can see his plugin in action.

P.S. Hopefully this post answers the question that I was asked during the Academic IT Festival, Cracow 2010 while presenting Gradle.
