We also did that for NetBeans, meaning we removed the NetBeans IDE-specific files and use their gradle plug-in (with somewhat mixed results). See https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8223375

FWIW, there is an open issue to do the same for Eclipse, but I think it hasn't been looked at in a while. Nir is the assignee so he will likely have some thoughts on this. https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8223374

Interesting, thank you, Thiago.

Maybe it's just the quality of gradle support in IntelliJ, or complexity of the Buildship plug-in in Eclipse.  It never worked for me, and removing the gradle nature from Eclipse project files has an added benefit of removing an extra dependency.

Andy,

We kind of did the opposite for Intellij (got rid of the .iml files and went for gradle import):

https://github.com/openjdk/jfx/pull/1009 <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/github.com/openjdk/jfx/pull/1009__;!!ACWV5N9M2RV99hQ!KGyKiKF64SpFYCZE7vMq0nzFAyNGv-gTQJoxy9lGH2dg15mO5dl-ZuQha_yGdjFGH_l740roARzs-f231vB1WSlkRk4$>

I couldn't get it to detect the manual tests tho. Changing some gradle files worked, but would require a deeper review, so we went without it.

    Dear developers:

    Does anyone use gradle in Eclipse (Buildship plug-in) with the
    OpenJFX repo?

    The reason I am asking is that in my experience, the gradle nature
    in OpenJFX is either misconfigured, or obsolete, or both.  There
    is a rather old wiki page [0] which describes the Eclipse setup,
    though I don't think it is correct anymore.  The initial import of
    the repository in Eclipse triggers an internal gradle run which
    creates/modifies a bunch of .classpath and .project files which
    must be undone before the workspace becomes usable. In any case,
    only a proper command line gradle build is supported anyway.

    I would like to propose removing the gradle nature from Eclipse's
    .project files in OpenJFX.  Once done, the projects can be
    trivially imported into a new workspace with no extra steps
    required.  This change has no impact on command line build whatsoever.

    What do you think?

    Thank you

    -andy
