Dear developers:

Does anyone use gradle in Eclipse (Buildship plug-in) with the OpenJFX repo?

The reason I am asking is that in my experience, the gradle nature in OpenJFX 
is either misconfigured, or obsolete, or both.  There is a rather old wiki page 
[0] which describes the Eclipse setup, though I don't think it is correct 
anymore.  The initial import of the repository in Eclipse triggers an internal 
gradle run which creates/modifies a bunch of .classpath and .project files 
which must be undone before the workspace becomes usable.  In any case, only a 
proper command line gradle build is supported anyway.

I would like to propose removing the gradle nature from Eclipse's .project 
files in OpenJFX.  Once done, the projects can be trivially imported into a new 
workspace with no extra steps required.  This change has no impact on command 
line build whatsoever.

What do you think?

Thank you
-andy
