I just tried with with Eclipse Neon.1 and Gradle:

------------------------------------------------------------
Gradle 3.2.1
------------------------------------------------------------

Revision:     83b485b914fd4f335ad0e66af9d14aad458d2cc5

Groovy:       2.4.7
Ant:          Apache Ant(TM) version 1.9.6 compiled on June 29 2015
JVM:          1.8.0_112 (Oracle Corporation 25.112-b15)
OS:           Windows 10 10.0 amd64

On windows 10 with Java Version:

C:\FDriveKambiz\repo\gradle-gen-project>java -version
java version "1.8.0_112"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_112-b15)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.112-b15, mixed mode)

And it failed miserably as you can see in Eclipse. But sailed like a soaring eagle in Intellij...I dont know Intellij, and a huge fan of eclipse, but common dudes, this means NO ONE teste Neon.1 for the simplest of use cases...to import a gradle project. That is not good enough. I am switching to Intellij for gradle projects:
