Theoretically it is possible to create NetBeans modules with Gradle
using Attila's NBM plugin, however that might need to be revised.
My experiment is to build NetBeans itself with Gradle. So far it looks
feasible, but requires a lot of energy, especially to get the tests
running as there are lot of magic being hidden in the Ant based harness
there. Right now it is possible to compile the platform and the tests on
a few modules are running without fail, however I'm still failing to
launch the base platform with OSGI correctly. Maybe I need to peek into
our Maven tooling for that one. So it is kind of promising but not top
priority on my list of things to do.

Well, my question has been answered. It seems that were I to go through and
update the NB Platform tutorials, modernizing them for NB 12 and Maven
should be on the list of TODOs for them. I likely would not do a parallel
path for any of the other build environments, especially not right out the
gate. I don't know if the NB Platform wizards have any aspirations to
support Gradle projects or not (I don't know if the build system is
abstract enough internally to where something like a wizard cares about it
or not, honestly).
Ah, yes, ignore me - I missed the essential word "platform" amongst
the noise! :-)
For the platform then what you suggest probably makes sense. Although
we should ensure Ant tutorials are up-to-date where possible I guess,
particularly where it's IDE relevant too?
I think Laszlo has mentioned experimenting with Gradle and platform or
IDE build?
Best wishes,
Neil
