Attach Sources for gradleApi() and Similar Dependencies

[cspurk]

When using Gradle distribution specific dependencies like gradleApi() or gradleTestKit(), Buildship doesn’t attach the sources to the corresponding Eclipse build path dependencies. When working on Gradle plugins, such sources (and the corresponding Javadoc) would often be very helpful, though.

[AndyWu2015]

agree with that , I think buildship should download the source jar and attach it just like m2e.

Would be nice if buildship can solve this problem: gradle/gradle#1003

Unfortunately one of the later buildship releases break my workaround:

plugins.withType(EclipsePlugin) {
  plugins.withType(JavaBasePlugin) {
    eclipse {
      classpath {
        file {
          whenMerged { cp ->
            String gradleHome = gradle.getGradleHomeDir().absolutePath.replace(File.separator, '/')
            String gradleSrc = "${gradleHome}/src"
            cp.entries.each { entry ->
              if ((entry in AbstractLibrary) && (entry.library.path.contains('generated-gradle-jars'))) {
                entry.sourcePath = new org.gradle.plugins.ide.eclipse.model.internal.FileReferenceFactory().fromPath(gradleSrc)
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Is the a way to modify the GradleClasspathContainer like this?

Closing, since this is already tracked by gradle/gradle#1003 and needs to be done in Gradle, not Buildship.

@samized Your workaround should work fine. Have you put some logging in there to see if it is getting invoked?
