Cannot use EclipseProject.getGradleProject() or acquire GradleProject model for pre-m5 Gradle versions

I'm wondering whether we should care about it... m4 was broken and m3 is veeery old.

Yes. There are still projects out there that are on M3. (E.g. spring-security).
Perhaps these people can be expected to move on "soon". But the truth is that if there builds are working fine, they may be reluctant to tackle the upgrade.

This problem is quite serious to me now that the method has been removed in M9, I either have these two options:
1) people with M3 projects can no longer run/view any tasks (which also breaks import if those project's import relies on executing some tasks).
2) continue to stick with tooling API M7

So to me that is a real blocker for moving to Tooling API M9.

For now I'm going with (2). But if EclipseProject.getEclipseTasks is put back in some snapshot build. I may consider basing the next STS-Gradle support of off that Gradle snapshot build instead.

Please raise this issue to 'Critical' or 'Blocker'. This is a blocker. The tooling M9 API is unusable for me. I.e. I can not consider upgrading STS to use M9 until the EclipseProject.getTasks method is put back in.

@Kris, this should be fixed soon.

This isues blocks: https://issuetracker.springsource.com/browse/STS-2509

Also blocking: https://issuetracker.springsource.com/browse/STS-2276

Also blocking: https://issuetracker.springsource.com/browse/STS-2503

Also blocking: https://issuetracker.springsource.com/browse/STS-2213

And this one too: https://issuetracker.springsource.com/browse/STS-2456

It's fixed now. You can do EclipseProject.getGradleProject().getTasks() also from M3+ target gradle version.

Excellent! Thanks for that.
Do you recommend a particular Gradle snapshot build for me to use, or should I just pick whatever is the latest at the moment?

Kris

Let me kick off a nightly build and get back once it's ready

Can you try nightly: http://gradle.org/nightly ?

FYI: I've succesfully updated STS Gradle tools to use an RC1 buildsnapshot of the tooling API. All of my regression tests are green. Using EclipseProject.getGradleProject().getTasks() instead of the deprecated method it replaces.
