Unable to import OpenJFX Build into Eclipse

[Tom Schindl]

Hi,

Do we really use the Eclipse-Gradle-Tooling now? I think the reasons we 
checked in all .product/.classpath files is that this did not work in 
the past.

At least my Eclipse install I use for OpenJFX-Development does not have 
the gradle-tooling installed and things work there just fine.
