FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':eclipseProject'.
> Cannot parse file '/tmp/gradle214-bug/.project'.
         Perhaps this file was tinkered with? In that case try delete this file and then retry.

* Try:
Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

* Exception is:
org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException: Execution failed for task ':eclipseProject'.
