Trying to switch from Maven to Gradle in Eclipse

My boss recently decided to switch our java project from being built with Maven to being built with Gradle. I updated my local project from our SVN repo, and now I can't get the project to build. I've installed the Gradle plugin for Eclipse, but every time I try to run I get this error:

Referenced classpath provider does not exist: org.eclipse.m2e.launchconfig.classpathProvider

It seems like it's still trying to build with Maven. I can't figure out how to fix it and get it to build with Gradle. Is there a file somewhere I need to edit?

You should add build.gradle and ensure that the project can be build from command line. After you are satisfied with the results, do change Eclipse configuration file.

That is one of reason Nodeclipse/Enide Gradle for Eclipse (marketplace) was created. It let's run gradle build (with different option) while project is still Maven project.

More likely it is trying to launch something using a launch (Run/Debug) configuration that has a Maven classpath element in it. You can delete launch configuration like this and create new ones with your current project.

Also see similar Eclipse: Referenced classpath provider does not exist and bunch of other question.
