Eclipse gluon new project does not finish

Question

I use Eclipse 4.7 (Oxygen), portable version

• Android Development Tools (no version ?), with SDK Manager => SDK Tools 25.5, Android 6 and 7 (API 23, 25), Android Support Repository, SDK Platform, SDK Platform-tools
• Gluon plugin 2.4.0
• E(fx)clipse 2.4.0
• Gradle IdePack 3.8.x +1.0.x
• SceneBuilder installed and configured in Eclipse
• and (MarketPlace, Enide 2015)

new Gluon project begins well:

• name and location (default)
• Gluon Application Settings (default)
• Name of view (default) => button finish appears active, but when pressing it, nothing happens. This window blocks here and no message. Only back button, close and cancel work.

I'v tried any combination of projects (Desktop, Mobile, single view, multiple, Fxml), and checkbox, but it doesnt change anything.

Have anyone encounter the same problem ?

Or is there any log to search for anywhere ?

thanks

Answer 1

The plugin has been updated (version 2.5) to work with Eclipse Oxygen and Gradle 2+. Install the new plugin (it will uninstall the old one) and it'll work again. See here for details.

Answer 2

i had the same error with Neon and it all boiled down to an exception i saw in the .log File of eclipse ({yourWorkspace}.metadata).

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.eclipse.buildship.core.workspace.SynchronizeGradleProjectJob cannot be found by com.gluonhq.eclipse.plugin_2.4.0

It seems version 2.x of Buildships Gradle has rearranged its packages and contents making the finish button unclickable.

I downloaded the latest 1.x version from an updatesite which can be found on github and everything runs just fine.

Hope this helps,

Bests!
