I read those, however not really in context of NetBeans. NetBeans has an
Ant based build system with a bunch of custom tasks. On module level it
is very effective, on cluster level it is not so.
I'm doing this as of a personal challenge, fun and learn. If there would
be anything useful coming from it, I'll share.

I suspect you've probable reviewed some of these (1), (2), (3) already but
thought it might be of interest.

Dear all,
I just would like to share the progress of my secret project: build
NetBeans with Gradle
I'm still not sure how far I would like to go with this experiment, but
if nothing else it could be a good test data for the Gradle Support.
I had the following milestones in my mind:
M0: Done: Get the project dependencies straight, without having circular
dependencies: Right now it has 813 sub-projects in the known clusters
M1: Done: Get the modules in the Platform cluster (and the harness
cluster) compileable.
M2: TBD: Make the unit tests pass for the Platform Cluster.
M3: TBD: Make the output of the Platform cluster actually runable.
How it works:
I have a specific NetBeans Gradle Plugin which reads the
nbproject/clusters.properties and each module nbproject/project.xml file to
get the dependency configuration. other configuration items are read from
the nbproject.properties file. In theory we do not have to do any changes
for an ordinary module it shall work out of the box without even having a
build.gradle file. There are however some special cases where build.gradle
file is required. Unfortunately there are some dependency tangles between
the modules causing circular dependency in Gradle. In these cases I had to
split up the modules between test and source projects.
If anyone would like to have a look:
please clone the gradle2 branch of my fork:
https://github.com/lkishalmi/netbeans
The Gradle build right now needs the help to fetch the external
dependencies: ant download-all-extbins
But after that one:
./gradlew buildPlatformCluster -x check
shall work. (It currently requires JDK 11 or up)
This is great. Big +1. Getting the official build transitioned to a
modern build tool is an excellent idea.
Scott
