Anyone have experience in building an Eclipse RCP application with Gradle?

Question

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?

Answer 1

Questions is three years old, nevertheless... Here is the solution: https://github.com/akhikhl/wuff

Answer 2

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.
