Import "Existing Gradle Project" fails while importing Java agent into Eclipse

[mfridljand]

I am working on Java agent extension to support an J2EE vendor with OTEL (its J2EE system). I managed to create a kind of PoC, but I really would like to import Java agent in my Eclipse. So far I was just browsing the source code without having it as proper Java projects. The “Import existing Gradle” action with agent insturmentation fails with an exception.
The last error is the following:
org.gradle.tooling.BuildActionFailureException: The supplied phased action failed with an exception
…
Caused by: org.gradle.api.internal.tasks.DefaultTaskContainer$TaskCreationException: Could not create task ':uploadReleaseBundle'.
....
Caused by: org.gradle.api.GradleException: Sonatype user not set

Full stack trace: error.log

Obviously, I am not trying to upload anything. Do I need to change something in a .kts? Unfortunately, I am a Maven user not familiar with Gradle.

Thanks in advance!

What version are you trying to import? Couple of releases ago we had a bug that could cause this, but that should be fixed. I suspect that we don't have any eclipse users actively working on this project, so can't really comment on whether importing the agent would succeed or not. You could also try deleting the uploadReleaseBundle task from

opentelemetry-java-instrumentation/build.gradle.kts

Line 167 in 6d6915e

val uploadReleaseBundle by registering {

It is only needed for making the release.

Thanks for the prompt answer! Deleting uploadReleaseBundle helped. I did a fresh GIT clone, and the issue did not occur. The projects get created. However, with the old as well as with new release the operations runs into a “Connecting Git team provider failed. See log for details. Error connecting project <…>, no Git repositories found”. The workspace has myriads of errors yet.
Is there perhaps a documentation how to proceed when one wants to get the agent projects into an IDE? It does not necessarily have to be Eclipse. What do most use for the development?

Thanks, IntelliJ seems not to have all the issues Eclipse has.
