The migration to Gradle 7.2 resulted in a regression for our Eclipse
IDE support: several projects ended up with recursive classpath entries
in their generated .classpath files which prevent those projects from
being built within Eclipse.
This commit addresses this issue with a solution that may well be a
"hack". Nonetheless, a working hack is better than not being able to
import into Eclipse at all.
