Dhwani Katagade created KAFKA-4604:
--------------------------------------
Summary: Gradle Eclipse plugins creates blank projects for
subfolders
Key: KAFKA-4604
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4604
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Bug
Components: build
Affects Versions: 0.11.0.0
Environment: Tried with Gradle 3.2.1 and Eclipse Neon
Reporter: Dhwani Katagade
Priority: Minor
Running the command *./gradlew eclipse* generates .project and .classpath files
for all projects. But it also generates these files for the root project folder
and the connect subfolder that holds the 4 connector projects even though these
folders are not actual project folders.
The unnecessary connect project is benign, but the unnecessary kafka project
created for the root folder has a side effect. The root folder has a bin
directory that holds some scripts. When a _Clean all projects_ is done in
Eclipse, it cleans up the scripts in the bin directory. These have to be
restored by running *git checkout \-\- <files>*. This same could become a
problem for the connect project as well if tomorrow we place some files under
connect/bin.
