Duplicated by GRADLE-3096 eclipse classpath - project root as s... Resolved

 Description   

defining a srcDir "." results in an eclipse .classpath entry with path="." which eclipse does not like. looks like eclipse wants "" as path if the project root is defined as a src dir.

any way to solve this without manually modifying the generated classpath entry (whenMerged/withXml)? i would like to use the eclipse "refresh dependencies" feature which does currently not respect manual classpath modifications. (please do not ask about the project layout - i know this is terrible...)

Have you tried `srcDir projectDir`? If that doesn't help, I can't think of a solution other than modifying the generated classpath entry.

also generates path="."... for the time being, i will be modifying the entries manually. anyway i think gradle should perhaps generate a eclipse classpath entry with path="" when it has a srcDir "." - thanks, zyro
