Hello,

In my project we're using Xtext and Xtend. We have the following folder structure:

```
/build.gradle
/gradle.properties
/settings.gradle
pkg/cli/build.gradle (generates a JAR)
pkg/cli/src/Main.xtend (generates a JAR)
pkg/ide/build.gradle
pkg/root/build.gradle
pkg/root/DSL.myextension
pkg/root/src/*.xtend
```

Currently we generate the eclipse artifacts in the `ide` package. It is difficult to keep the process clean because gradle calls commands through maven, and maven calls gradle. I saw this gradle plugin - https://github.com/xtext/xtext-gradle-plugin which I think fits the bill and can help us drop our maven dependency completely and clean up our build process. However, my gradle skills are bad and I cannot find many projects using it or example setups on the website. Can someone provide me with an example that would build this project?

Regards,
Hristo
