             Summary: Gradle Eclipse plugins creates blank projects for subfolders
                 Key: KAFKA-4604
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4604
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: build
    Affects Versions: 0.11.0.0
         Environment: Tried with Gradle 3.2.1 and Eclipse Neon
            Reporter: Dhwani Katagade
            Priority: Minor


Running the command *./gradlew eclipse* generates .project and .classpath files for all projects. But it also generates these files for the root project folder and the connect subfolder that holds the 4 connector projects even though these folders are not actual project folders.

The unnecessary connect project is benign, but the unnecessary kafka project created for the root folder has a side effect. The root folder has a bin directory that holds some scripts. When a _Clean all projects_ is done in Eclipse, it cleans up the scripts in the bin directory. These have to be restored by running *git checkout \-\- <files>*. This same could become a problem for the connect project as well if tomorrow we place some files under connect/bin.
