[FIXED] Eclipse Gradle Plugin 'could not fetch model of type'

Issue

I am running Eclipse Luna on OS X with Gradle IDE 3.6.1 and anytime I try to select a project from the gradle tasks panel I get the following error:

org.eclipse.osgi.internal.framework.EquinoxConfiguration$1
Could not fetch model of type 'EclipseProject' using Gradle distribution 
'https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.0-bin.zip'.

Has anyone else run into this error? I can get to the URL specified to download the file myself. So, network connectivity shouldn't be the problem.

Solution

Eclipse 4.4.1 broke Gradle Eclipse support with non-string values in system properties.This is fixed in the latest Gradle for the 3.6.2 release. Update your Gradle form this update-site: http://dist.springsource.com/snapshot/TOOLS/gradle/nightly
