Does anyone have experience in building an application based on Eclipse RCP with Gradle? I'd like especially to know:

  • How reasonable is it to build Eclipse RCP plugins and products with Gradle?
  • Are there any Gradle plugins to achieve this task (like the Tycho plugin for Maven)?
  • Do you know any tutorials or articles describing such an approach?

  • The scaffold task downloads eclipse-jee-luna-SR2-macosx-cocoa-x86_64, then downloads http://mirror.netcologne.de/eclipse//eclipse/downloads/drops4/R-4.4.2-201502041700/eclipse-SDK-4.4.2-macosx-cocoa-x86_64.tar.gz and then fails. – ergonaut Jun 09 '16 at 17:05

there is a pdePlugin available for Gradle written by Gregory Boissinot. The plugin is available at https://github.com/gboissinot/gradleplugins. It contains two examples about a) building product based app b) building feature based app

As a matter of fact, the plugin is a wrapper of the pde build. internally it starts the eclipse pde build.
