Backward compatibility

The Bnd Gradle plugins no longer work on versions of Gradle less than 5.1.

Known Issues

Windows 10 users: Windows 10 Defender significantly slows down Eclipse, reason being Windows 10 Defender scanning the JAR files. The problem has been reported to Microsoft here. Until then, a workaround to this problem is to add Eclipse root directory to Windows 10 Defender’s exclusion list, detailed steps are shared here.

Note: This is not just an Eclipse issue on Windows 10.
