I am new to Gradle and I was trying this tutorial https://spring.io/guides/gs/rest-service/ I was able to compile the jar with the required dependencies and run it. However, I find it annoying that the libraries are not recognized by the IDE.
Is there anyway to do it?
Import an existing Gradle project You can also import existing Gradle projects into Eclipse. Select the File Import… Gradle Gradle Project menu entry for this. After pressing the Next > button, you need to specify the root directory of your Gradle project.
When modifying the build configuration, you can apply the changes by executing the Gradle > Refresh Gradle Project command from the context menu of the project node or the build script editor. Project synchronization even respects the customizations done in Gradle eclipse plugin configuration.
How do I refresh Gradle dependencies in STS? The Best Answer is. You have to select "Refresh Dependencies" in the "Gradle" context menu that appears when you right-click the project in the Package Explorer.
It is important to add the GRADLE_USER_HOME variable in Eclipse: Window->Preferences->Java->Build Path->Classpath Variable. Set it to the path of the ~/. gradle folder in your home directory (e.g. /home/<user_name>/. gradle/ (Unix) or C:\Users\<user_name>\.
You should use the gradle eclipse plugin. Add this to your build.gradle
file:
apply plugin: "eclipse"
This will add eclipse related tasks to your build. By executing
gradlew cleanEclipse eclipse
Gradle will regenerate all eclipse project and classpath files based on the current dependencies of your project(s). You will however need to refresh your IDE to make the changes visible.
There is one more thing to consider. As eclipse is not really aware of the gradle dependencies - it knows them only by the generated classpath files - new dependencies will be visible to eclipse only after regenerating these files. Furthermore dependencies added in eclipse will not be visible to your gradle build and will be removed once the classpath files are regenerated.
What worked for me is :
right-click the build.gradle file -> Gradle -> Refresh Dependencies.
