Eclipse Gradle Plugin: Automatically add dependencies like Maven

Question

I read that Gradle combines the best of Maven and Ant, so I'm trying to do this.

I have already installed the best integrated Gradle plugin for Eclipse according to the Gradle webpage. This is a plugin created by the SpringSource STS team. I can create a project "New project → Gradle" simply using this plugin.

With the m2e plugin, the Maven plugin for Eclipse, finding and adding dependencies is automatically simple. Is it possible to do the same with Gradle? How?

Thank you in advance:)

UPDATE: It is very easy to install and configure Gradle in Eclipse according to the instructions I wrote on my blog: http://estiloasertivo.blogspot.com.es/2013/03/tutorial-howto-install-and-configure.html

Answer 1

Automatically searching and adding dependencies is not yet supported by the Eclipse Gradle tools. I recommend using http://search.maven.org to find the dependency to add, and then copy the dependency information specified in the Grails section into the dependencies block of the script assembly.
