Eclipse configuration is broken for web applications

Eclipse WTP requires in the '.project' file the following additional build commands:

• org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.builder
• org.eclipse.wst.validation.validationbuilder

and the following additional natures:

• org.eclipse.wst.common.modulecore.ModuleCoreNature
• org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.nature

Gradle's Eclipse plugin currently creates the same '.project' file for web projects as for standard Java projects. This prevents Eclipse from making a web project a web project.

To solve this, Gradle should add the above configurations to the '.project' file, if the war plugin is applied.
