android beacon library import into Eclipse (via gradle import)

[ghost]

Hello, I have tried to import the android beacon library a number of times into Eclipse (v4.4) (with gradle plugin latest version installed. Every attempt failed with the error reported below. Please note that the Android support repository and the Android support library are both installed.

Thanks for your help,

Using gradle with Eclipde is not one of the configurations we support, but you should be able to get it working if you can build with gradle from the command line. Have you tried this? What gradle version do you have? Does the eclipse plugin use the gradle wrapper?
