I'm teaching a software engineering class in Java and would like for students to use Gradle within Eclipse. The existing wizard doesn't meet my needs because:

  • it creates some unneeded directories, such as src/main/resources
  • it includes some dependencies I don't want (such as junit-4.12) and lacks others that I do want (such as JUnit5

While I could have students manually delete and add directories and dependencies, I want to set a good example of automating processes.

While I don't have to use Gradle, I am inclined to because:

  • it will be needed in the next semester (when we do Android development)
  • it enables us to include dependencies (such as JUnit5) without adding them to our repo

I haven't been able to find the source code for the existing Gradle wizard to write my own version. I'm an experienced programmer in general but have not written Eclipse plugins.

Thanks.

I think I've found instructions for what I'd like to do:

I also think I found the location of the source code for the current Gradle wizard, although I was unable to find where the list of projects and external dependencies (such as junit-4.12.jar) is.

It looks like they have a setup and use these repositories themselves:

https://github.com/eclipse/buildship/blob/master/buildship.setup#L650

You can also use this to find Eclipse -hosted p2 repositories:

Ed, thank you for taking the time to reply. I'm sorry I did not see it until now.

Do you know what the easiest way is to create a wizard? The two approaches I link to seem pretty different.

Lars' article looks quite good. The other article just shows how create a wizard from the sample/example template. That might be an okay starting point, but you'll still need to develop all the pages.
