Configuring Eclipse IDE

If you wish 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 setup Eclipse 4.9 or above with Gradle BuildShip first run the gradle eclipse task from the root of your project then import the project by selecting File → Import then choosing Gradle → Existing Gradle Project and navigating to the root directory of your project (where the build.gradle 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 installed you need to import the project by selecting File → Import then choosing Maven → Existing Maven Project and navigating to the root directory of your project (where the pom.xml is located).

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