I'm no expert, in fact this is my first Gradle/Geb project. The following
works for me with 5.4 alpha:

With the Eclipse Gradle plugin I can do a Gradle build which runs the tests
and creates a war file.

create a build.gradle file with this

apply plugin: 'java'

apply plugin: 'war'

apply plugin: 'jetty'

apply plugin: 'eclipse-wtp'

apply plugin: 'groovy'

apply plugin: 'maven'
