I have two projects, client and shared. Both are Buildship projects and have external dependencies defined and working. Here's my multi project setup:

workspace/
    shared/
        build.gradle
    client/
        build.gradle
    settings.gradle

workspace/settings.gradle:

rootProject.name = 'workspace'

include 'client'
include 'shared'

Now I want to sort inter-project dependencies. client depends on compiled artifacts from shared. So according to 25.4.3. Project dependencies I think I add the following to clients build.gradle:

compile project(':shared')

However I can't compile in Eclipse. If I refresh the client project I get:

A problem occurred evaluating root project 'client'. Project with path ':shared' could not be found in root project 'client'.

It's like it doesn't recognise it as a multi project build...

I realised that gradle init had generated a settings.gradle file inside the two child projects. So I removed those files, but then I get a different error when refreshing either child project (and the project becomes entirely unusable):

Provided eclipse project is not the root project

How to get the two projects to work together, and hopefully just define this once?

Thanks to help here the following should fix it:

  1. Delete the client and shared projects from Eclipse, leave the files intact on the file system
  2. Move the root folder with client and shared inside to a different folder, so the root folder is not also the Eclipse workspace root
  3. Perform a Gradle import inside Eclipse for the root folder

That fixed it for me - inter project dependencies were then resolved.
