Importing these projects into Eclipse

[benwarrick]

Is there a way to import these project into Eclipse? I'm trying to work with chapter 3, 2-basic-rest-service. I use Import and then Gradle project, but it ends up importing a "2-basic-service" project filled with broker references, and then each package is imported as a separate project.

Hello Benjamin!

Sorry for not responding earlier, but I have been very busy lately finishing the 2'nd edition of my book.
(I have also written a blog post on the updates in the 2nd edition, if you are interested)

I'm not using Eclipse myself, so I downloaded Eclipse version 2021-06 (4.20.0) and tried to import chapter 3, 2-basic-rest-service. It failed with the error message:

org.gradle.tooling.BuildException: Could not fetch model of type 'GradleBuild' using connection to Gradle distribution 'https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.6.4-bin.zip'.

Not sure if it is similar to the problem you experienced?

However, I googled a bit and found a lot of issues discussed around this error message and they seems to relate to version missmatch between Gradle and Eclipse in many cases...

So I upgraded Gradle to the latest version 7.1.1 and imported the project again, and this time it seemed to work: (Changed 5.6.4 to 7.1.1 in the file Chapter03/2-basic-rest-services/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties)

Hope this helps!
