Oomph Buildship import

Gradle project import task for setting up development environments using Eclipse Oomph.

This work is based on code from this older implementation: https://github.com/herkne/buildship-import-4-oomph

Overview

This Eclipse plug-in leverages functionality of the Eclipse Buildship plugin to realize an Oomph Setup Task.

It basically does Buildship´s "Existing Gradle Project" import. The parameters for that import are described as Oomph xml. The Oomph Setup Editor supports the configuration.

<setupTask xsi:type="buildshipimport:BuildshipImportTask"
           id="buildshipimport.arctic_master">
   <sourceLocator rootFolder="${installation.location/git/arctic_configurations}"/>
   <sourceLocator rootFolder="${installation.location/git/arctic}"/>
</setupTask>

Original documentation

These plugins provide an Oomph Setup Task to import gradle projects into eclipse using the buildship project-import wizard.

After the project has been successfully imported an optional gradle task may be executed. The task checks the presence of a file .settings/gradle.prefs in the project root directory.The task will be executed if either this file is missing or its contents points to another project location.

For the moment consider this to be in alpha state. The task seems to work with all of my setups i tried so far, but problems might still exist.

To build the project you need a workspace with both oomph and buildship installed (sorry, no setup file yet). Import the projects into the workspace, use the genmodel file to generate the model and edit code, then export the feature.

Add the feature to the workspace you use to edit your setup files and to the workspace in which the task will be executed.

Usage

with Oomph, Buildship and the plugin installed:

• open (Project) setup in Oomph setup editor
• select Node, open right-click open context menue
• as "New Child" select "Buildship import" to create node
• on new node use context menue to created one or more "New Child" "Source Locator"

General properties

The task provides used to provide the following properties, work-in-progress:

original name	original docu	change	implementation / priority
ProjectRootDirectory	set this to a file url pointing to the folder containing the gradle project to be imported.	using built-in sourceLocator	[x]
JavaHome	set this to a file url to be passed on to the buildship import task as the JRE to be used.		[ ] lowest
Arguments	defined but currently not used.		[ ] lowest
JvmArguments	defined but currently not used.		[ ] lowest
ImportWaitTime	if set to 0 the task creates and starts a job to import the project and then continues. If set to a positive number (the default is 30) the task waits these number of seconds for the import to complete before continuing. If the import does not complete in time this is considered as an error.		[ ] low

Buildship plugin workspace settings override

original property	original docu	change	implementation / priority
GradleUserHome	the file url to be passed on to the buildship import task as the gradle user home directory to be used.		[ ] low
BuildScansEnabled			[ ] lowest
OfflineMode			[ ] lowest
AutoSync			[ ] lowest

Task execution after import

original property	original docu	change	implementation / priority
GradleTask	If not empty this is the name of the task to be executed after the project has been imported. The property is preset to "eclipse".		[x]
GradleBuildDirectory	the directory from which GradleTask will be executed. If not set ProjectRootDirectory will be used.		[ ] medium
