Fail to initialize EclipseModelBuilder in gradle 2.14.1 if "Use Custom Tooling Model" is checked.

Failed to fetch 'EclipseProject' model due to EclipseModelBuilder constructor argument number change.

spring-projects/eclipse-integration-gradle - version 3.8.0
StsEclipseProjectModelBuilder

gradle/gradle version 2.14.1
EclipseModelBuilder

error message:

org.gradle.plugins.ide.internal.tooling.EclipseModelBuilder.<init>(Lorg/gradle/plugins/ide/internal/tooling/GradleProjectBuilder;)V
Could not fetch model of type 'EclipseProject' using Gradle distribution 'https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.14.1-bin.zip'.

Couldn't reproduce. I created a basic gradle project, added gradle wrapper for version 2.14.1 and imported it. It worked fine for me.

You will need to provide more details. Best would be a sample project and exact details on what options you select in the import wizard.

At first glance, everything is working right. So I'll close ticket for now. Add more details and we can reopen it.

I found this occurs only in case the option "Use Custom Tooling Model" is checked.

Thanks, I will reopen it. But it is unlikely we will fix it. The custom tooling always was a rather experimental feature and has proven to be a bit too big of a maintenance burden. Perhaps its a small fix, and maybe someone will step forward with a pull-request.

BTW: some of the problems that the custom tooling model was intended to solve are handled better by BuildShip which eventually will replace STS gradle tooling. So perhaps using BuildShip is an option for you. If not please consider raising the issue via Eclipse bugzilla so that BuildShip developers might try to address it.
