Answer 1

The following worked for me

eclipse.classpath.plusConfigurations += configurations.compile

eclipse.classpath.file {
    beforeMerged { classpath ->
    classpath.entries.removeAll() { c -> 
        c.kind == 'src'
    }
}

withXml {
    def node = it.asNode()

    node.appendNode('classpathentry kind="src" path="src/main/java"')
    node.appendNode('classpathentry kind="src" path="src/debug/java"')
    node.appendNode('classpathentry kind="src" path="gen"')

    node.children().removeAll() { c ->
        def path = c.attribute('path')
        path != null && (
                path.contains('/com.android.support/support-v4')
                )
    }
  }
}

eclipse.project {
   name = 'AndroidGradleBasic'

   natures 'com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.AndroidNature'
   buildCommand 'com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.ResourceManagerBuilder'
   buildCommand 'com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.PreCompilerBuilder'
   buildCommand 'com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.ApkBuilder'
}
