What is the roadmap for this plugin with the presence of the BuildShip plugin? #93

I've used this plugin since I started using Gradle. Several months ago I had heard that this plugin would be deprecated and replaced with the BuildShip plugin from GradleWare, at least in terms of the primary Gradle plugin for Eclipse.

In that context, I was surprised to see a new release of this come out, and even a pending one in the near future (3.7.1?).

BuildShip is apparently still pretty rudimentary, but what is the plan for this Gradle Eclipse plugin now that BuildShip is on the horizon?

The plan is to eventually abandon the project in favor of buildship. There is no real time-line or plan for this. At the moment we can't simply abandon this project because we have some things that depend on it. Build-ship isn't yet at a point where we can just replace e-i-gradle with it.

So we are continuing to maintain e-i-gradle for now and plan to keep an eye out on how build-ship is shaping up.

Should this be in README?
