gradle target build failes on mars, becase the deltapack isn´t avialable any more.

[ArnoSchmidmeier]

Our build runs like a charm, if building our product against eclipse versions before mars.
However it fails if build against mars.

with messages like
What went wrong:
execution failed for task ':de.db.bbz.sbp.mockgui.ui:buildProduct_windows_x86_64'.
Cannot get property 'url' on null object

Eclipse doesn´t provide the delta pack any more AFAIK. So I expect that this is causing this build failure. Especially if I look at the relevant stacktrace, (wuff 0.2)

The ugly thing is, that gradle build isn't working. Gradle run and gradle debug do work.
Having a central gradle run task is a pain in the a?? as our build generates several eclipse applications now.

So my first suggestion would be to disable to create the plattform and generate just the launch configuration as needed for run and debug.
