sounds good to me.
regarding the gradle custom dist selection:
One argument for keeping it would be to have parity to maven which is
still fairly similar in setup, it has daemons, wrappers etc. The UI has
a dist selector too - I use that one sometimes. But I do also agree that
it is more common in gradle projects to use wrappers, while in maven
land it is still often expected that it is installed on your machine
like in old times.
if it isn't too difficult to maintain I would consider keeping that option.
also if you are planning to move elements around in the gradle options,
it would be worth thinking about trying to mirror it in the maven
options so that the UX is somewhat similar.
best regards,

Dear all,
I'd like to collect some feedback on the Gradle Distribution Settings
(Tools > Options > Java > Gradle > Execution Panel > Distribution
Section)
Over the years, Gradle evolved and some usage patterns has changed.
8 years ago, Gradle Daemon was in incubation phase. It could took a
few (5-10) seconds to start a daemon especially with HDDs.
People usually installed some latest Gradle and used that globally,
wrapper was not yet popular.
I think the following settings are obsolete:
- Start Gradle Daemon on IDE Start: Most people are using wrappers,
so a daemon with the IDE defined distribution, just wasting resources.
- Install Gradle Runtime Silently (Project trust is fine for that)
The following options are questionable:
Custom Gradle Distribution. (I think I've used only once around 2.3
when I built my own Gradle distribution due to a bug in Gradle)
The Gradle Distribution Selector Combo Box is over engineered. I would
replace that and the
"Prefer to Use Gradle Wrapper that Comes with the Project" check box
in a simple combo with elements:
Wrapper
8.0
7.6
....
3.0
I would drop the selection below at least 3.0 (Gradle 2.x are ancient,
and there are a few versions which are not working well with NetBeans)
So at the end I would keep the Gradle Home and the combined
distribution selector. Probably move that to root project level as well.
What do you think?
