Can you use eclipse to mod in 1.19.2

[sphee]

I'm wanting to update my mod from 1.12.2 to 1.19.2 but i've tried making a new project for 1.19.2 (1.19.2-43.1.7 on forge) and ran all the commands yet there doesn't seem to be a eclipse folder that i can open with eclipse.

After Running (in the correct directory)

gradlew genEclipseRuns

then

gradlew eclipse

it still doesnt create one. It does create a .project file but i've tried many things on eclipse and still i can find no way to open it. If i open the folder as a whole or create a eclipse folder the eclipse package explorer is empty. I've looked up on how people make this but everyone seems to be using intellij idea.

The version of eclipse i'm using eclipse 2018-09 (4.9.0)

I have java 17 jdk installed is well.

I've been following along with the forge docs.

There is no 'eclipse folder' that is your workspace. You can set that to anything you want.

Then you just import your mod directory as a gradle project and you're done.

File -> import -> gradle -> existing gradle project

You only need the geneclipseruns task if you want to run minecraft inside the ide. It generates eclipse's native run configurations from the gradle config.

And the plain eclipse task is redundant. buildship will overwrite the files it generates with its own project settings anyway.

I'm trying to import the gradle project by giving it my mod directory but its complaining about the root directory is the same directory as my workspace one.

I've tried making a folder within my workspace for eclipse but then it does nothing when i press finish after giving it the root directory for the gradle project.

Just create an empty folder and use that as your workspace.

That is what i've done but let still doesn't allow me to click finish, even if a create a totally different folder in a different directory and try to import it into that

Don't know then. It's probably something to do with your eclipse being 4 years old?

I suggest you talk to the eclipse/buildship people or upgrade eclipse.

Problem was that eclipse was outdated
