2.3.2 Eclipse

To use Eclipse IDE, it is recommended you import your Micronaut project into Eclipse using either Gradle BuildShip for Gradle or M2Eclipse for Maven.

Eclipse and Gradle

Once you have set up Eclipse 4.9 or higher with Gradle BuildShip, first run the gradle eclipse task from the root of your project, then import the project by selecting File → Import and choosing Gradle → Existing Gradle Project and navigating to the root directory of your project (where the build.gradle file is located).

Eclipse and Maven

For Eclipse 4.9 and above with Maven you need the following Eclipse plugins:

• M2Eclipse for Maven

• Maven integration with Eclipse JDT Annotation Processor Toolkit

Once these are installed, import the project by selecting File → Import and choosing Maven → Existing Maven Project and navigating to the root directory of your project (where the pom.xml file is located).

Then enable annotation processing by opening Eclipse → Preferences and navigating to Maven → Annotation Processing and selecting the option Automatically configure JDT APT.
