title: How do I change the Gradle version the Eclipse SpringSource plugin uses?
body: <p>Note this is for the SpringSource plugin.</p>
  
  <p>When I try to import a Gradle project in Eclipse I am getting the following error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Project location doesn't exist; See error log for details.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>The stacktrace error is basically this: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Project location doesn't exist</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I did some research, and a Gradle defect (<a href="https://issuetracker.springsource.com/browse/STS-3158" rel="nofollow">https://issuetracker.springsource.com/browse/STS-3158</a>) mentions that error handling was improved with a more useful error message, including the project location.</p>
  
  <p>I have Gradle 1.7 now on my machine; however Eclipse/Springsource keeps using Gradle 1.2. How do I get it to use 1.7 (or even 1.8)</p>
