 Description   

From http://forums.gradle.org/gradle/topics/idea_vs_eclipse_behavior_for_sourcesets

If a project does not apply the java plugin, but it does apply java-base and manually creates a sourceSet called main and manually adds a bunch of srcDirs to it...

  • gradle eclipse, Gradle generates a .classpath file that contains all the srcDirs.
  • gradle idea, Gradle generates a module file that has no source dirs.

I think this is because the Idea plugin only applies withType(JavaPlugin) whereas the Eclipse plugin uses withType(JavaBasePlugin).

It's believed that this is an inaccuracy, and should be changed to match the Eclipse plugin.

A work-around is to use "gradle eclipse" and then use IntelliJ's support importing Eclipse projects.
