GenerateEclipseProject

API Documentation:GenerateEclipseProject

Generates an Eclipse .project file.

Example how to configure eclipse project generation:

apply plugin: 'eclipse'

eclipseProject {
  //...
}

Properties

PropertyDescription
buildCommands

The build commands to be added to this Eclipse project.

comment

A comment used for the eclipse project

inputFile

The input file to load the initial configuration from. Defaults to the output file. If the specified input file does not exist, this task uses some default initial configuration.

links

The linked resources to be added to this Eclipse project.

natures

The natures to be added to this Eclipse project.

outputFile

The output file to write the final configuration to.

projectName

Configures eclipse project name. It is optional because the task should configure it correctly for you. By default it will try to use the project.name or prefix it with a part of a project.path to make sure the moduleName is unique in the scope of a multi-module build. The 'uniqeness' of a module name is required for correct import into Eclipse and the task will make sure the name is unique.

referencedProjects

The referenced projects of this Eclipse project.

Property details

List<BuildCommand> buildCommands

The build commands to be added to this Eclipse project.

Default with eclipse and java plugins:
Java builder, plus Scala and Web builders as appropriate.

String comment

A comment used for the eclipse project

Default with eclipse and java plugins:
project.description

File inputFile

The input file to load the initial configuration from. Defaults to the output file. If the specified input file does not exist, this task uses some default initial configuration.

Set<Link> links

The linked resources to be added to this Eclipse project.

Default with eclipse and java plugins:
[]

List<String> natures

The natures to be added to this Eclipse project.

Default with eclipse and java plugins:
Java nature, plus Groovy, Scala and Web natures as appropriate.

File outputFile

The output file to write the final configuration to.

Default with eclipse and java plugins:
${project.projectDir}/.project

String projectName

Configures eclipse project name. It is optional because the task should configure it correctly for you. By default it will try to use the project.name or prefix it with a part of a project.path to make sure the moduleName is unique in the scope of a multi-module build. The 'uniqeness' of a module name is required for correct import into Eclipse and the task will make sure the name is unique.

The logic that makes sure project names are uniqe is available since 1.0-milestone-2

In case you need to override the default projectName this is the way to go:

apply plugin: 'eclipse'

eclipseProject {
  projectName = 'some-important-project'
}
Default with eclipse and java plugins:
project.name

Set<String> referencedProjects

The referenced projects of this Eclipse project.

Default with eclipse and java plugins:
[]

whenConfigured(closure)

Adds a closure to be called after the domain object has been configured by this task. The domain object is passed as a parameter to the closure.

whenConfigured(action)

Adds an action to be called after the domain object has been configured by this task. The domain object is passed as a parameter to the action.

withXml(closure)

Adds a closure to be called when the XML document has been created. The XML is passed to the closure as a parameter in form of a XmlProvider. The closure can modify the XML before it is written to the output file.

Method details

void beforeConfigured(Closure closure)

Adds a closure to be called before the domain object is configured by this task. The domain object is passed as a parameter to the closure.

The closure is executed after the domain object has been loaded from the input file. Using this method allows you to change the domain object in some way before the task configures it.

void beforeConfigured(Action<? super T> action)

Adds an action to be called before the domain object is configured by this task. The domain object is passed as a parameter to the action.

The action is executed after the domain object has been loaded from the input file. Using this method allows you to change the domain object in some way before the task configures it.

void buildCommand(String buildCommand)

Adds a build command to the eclipse project.

void buildCommand(Map args, String buildCommand)

Adds a build command with arguments to the eclipse project.

void link(Map<String, String> args)

Adds a link to the eclipse project.

void natures(String... natures)

Adds natures entries to the eclipse project.

void referencedProjects(String... referencedProjects)

Adds project references to the eclipse project.

void whenConfigured(Closure closure)

Adds a closure to be called after the domain object has been configured by this task. The domain object is passed as a parameter to the closure.

The closure is executed just before the domain object is written to the output file. Using this method allows you to override the configuration applied by this task.

void whenConfigured(Action<? super T> action)

Adds an action to be called after the domain object has been configured by this task. The domain object is passed as a parameter to the action.

The action is executed just before the domain object is written to the output file. Using this method allows you to override the configuration applied by this task.

void withXml(Closure closure)

Adds a closure to be called when the XML document has been created. The XML is passed to the closure as a parameter in form of a XmlProvider. The closure can modify the XML before it is written to the output file.

void withXml(Action<? super XmlProvider> action)

Adds an action to be called when the XML document has been created. The XML is passed to the action as a parameter in form of a XmlProvider. The action can modify the XML before it is written to the output file.
