Is there any way to integrate Eclipse with Gradle

Question

I have Android project with standard build.gradle (also I added android annotations).

Also I installed Gradle plugin (from http://dist.springsource.org/release/GRECLIPSE/e4.3/) to my Eclipse (Kepler) and converted project to Gradle project.

Unfortunately I cannot run Gradle build on my Eclipse (in cmd line everything works).

My question is how to make Eclipse works with Gradle just like with Maven.

I use neon eclipse for android developer with gradle integration. Also, I use gradle plugin (com.github.ginvavilon:android-eclipse) for generating .project and .classpath for new structure of android project (src/main/java; src/main/res ...). Flavors and build types are supported. And use that project as gradle-project

In order to be able to build an Android gradle project with Eclipse I followed these instructions:

1. Install these Eclipse plugins:

   • Gradle IDE (3.4.0)
   • Android Development Tools (22.3.0)

2. If you have an old-style android project layout, change your build.gradle to configure source directories as explained in the Android Gradle User Guide.

3. If you have a gradle android project layout, create two symbolic links into the root of your project.

   ln -s src/main/res res
   ln -s src/main/AndroidManifest.xml AndroidManifest.xml

I hope it helps!
