FINERACT-1421: Fixing Eclipse build/debug

README.md

@@ -83,10 +83,13 @@ Instructions to run and debug in Eclipse IDE
 It is possible to run Fineract in Eclipse IDE and also to debug Fineract using Eclipse's debugging facilities.
 To do this, you need to create the Eclipse project files and import the project into an Eclipse workspace:
 
-1. Import the fineract-provider project into your Eclipse workspace (File->Import->Gradle->Existing Gradle Project into Workspace, choose root directory fineract/fineract-provider)
-2. Do a clean build of the project in Eclipse (Project->Clean...)
+1. Create Eclipse project files into the Fineract project by running `./gradlew cleanEclipse eclipse`
+2. Import the fineract-provider project into your Eclipse workspace (File->Import->General->Existing Projects into Workspace, choose root directory fineract/fineract-provider)
+3. Do a clean build of the project in Eclipse (Project->Clean...)
 3. Run / debug Fineract by right clicking on org.apache.fineract.ServerApplication class and choosing Run As / Debug As -> Java Application. All normal Eclipse debugging features (breakpoints, watchpoints etc) should work as expected.
 
+If you change the project settings (dependencies etc) in Gradle, you should redo step 1 and refresh the project in Eclipse.
+
 You can also use Eclipse Junit support to run tests in Eclipse (Run As->Junit Test)
 
 Finally, modifying source code in Eclipse automatically triggers hot code replace to a running instance, allowing you to immediately test your changes
