I had the command pasted twice stupidly. My build file now just contains:
apply plugin: 'eclipse'
as instructed by Jason.

I now get:
FAILURE: Could not determine which tasks to execute.
* What went wrong:
No tasks have been specified and root project 'Tester' has not defined any
default tasks.

Cheers,

Tom.
