There are two major Gradle plugins for Eclipse: one created by SpringSource as part of the Spring Tool Suite and one called Buildship developed by Gradle Inc. Since Buildship became an eclipse.org project, the SpringSource developers are planning to phase out their tooling and switch to Buildship.
Buildship
Buildship is a set of Eclipse Plug-ins that provide a deep integration of Gradle into Eclipse. Buildship is hosted on eclipse.org.
Requirements
Buildship can be used with Eclipse 3.6.x or newer. Older versions might work but have not been tested explicitly. Depending on the version of Gradle that Buildship interacts with, certain features of Buildship may not be available.
