[GRADLE-1315] Eclipse task duplicates entries in existing .classpath file Created: 18/Jan/11  Updated: 03/Feb/17  Resolved: 03/Feb/17

 Description   

Created an Eclipse project by hand, then ran gradle eclipse. Resulting .classpath file looks like this:

<classpath>
  <classpathentry kind="src" path="src"/>
  <classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER/org.eclipse.jdt.internal.debug.ui.launcher.StandardVMType/JavaSE-1.6"/>
  <classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.junit.JUNIT_CONTAINER/4"/>
  <classpathentry kind="output" path="bin"/>
  <classpathentry kind="output" path="build/classes/main"/>
  <classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER" exported="true"/>
</classpath>

The file now contains duplicate entries for output folder and JRE_CONTAINER which probably don't make sense.

@Dorothy I suggest running gradle cleanEclipse eclipse to ensure that the project files are created independent of what already existed. The IDE plugins do not check what already exists and also does not clean up duplicates.

Comment by Benjamin Muschko [ 03/Feb/17 ]

From my perspective you can just run the cleanEclipse task beforehand and ensure that existing entries are not messed up. Please open an issue on GitHub if you think that there's a problem with the approach. I'd also suggest you explore Buildship. It's likely that you can just use that as it has gotten so much better than years ago.
