java.lang.IllegalStateException: Undefined setting 'eclipseSkipProject' (for RootProject)

[MikaelMayer]

I have been struggling with this bug for many hours. After migrating from Eclipse 2.3.0 to 4.0.0 (to use Play 2.4 instead of 2.3), I figured out that using RootProject prevent the eclipse plugin to work, although I explicitely asked him to discard the creation of the eclipse project for the rootProject. Can you please help me for that?

Setup

• build.sbt

lazy val server = (project in file("server"))
   .settings(scalaVersion := "2.11.7")
  .dependsOn(leonProject)

lazy val leonProject = RootProject(uri("https://github.com/epfl-lara/leon.git#5bf8a57cc03ae5ccbd890e3f4f0121a6f9dd1bb2"))

EclipseKeys.skipProject in leonProject := true

EclipseKeys.preTasks := Seq(compile in Compile)

• project/
  • plugins.sbt

resolvers += "Typesafe Releases" at "http://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/releases/"

addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.sbteclipse" % "sbteclipse-plugin" % "4.0.0")

• build.properties

sbt.version=0.13.9

Then ,run

sbt eclipse

Expected

> eclipse

It looks like the problem comes from

EclipseKeys.skipProject in leonProject := true

being ignored. It tries to apply the eclipse plug-in recursively to sub-projects, which should not happen. If your provide me guidelines on how to fix it, I may submit it myself if needed.

[twistedpair]

I had the same problem. I had to add the sbteclipse plugin to every /project/plugins.sbt file in the set of projects to make the plugin work against a single project in a multi-project layout that uses RootProject.

I believe the eclipse plug-in should be recursively applied, but that that isn't happening properly. I can set skipProject, but then am unable to build in eclipse, since the appropriate dependencies aren't being made available.
