Hello, I'm starting to lose hope in this ... I got my class library using OpenJPA to work nicely in Netbeans using Ant support and storing stuff in the backend Derby database. Then I decided to move to the much newer Gradle and - after a bit of a learning curve - all builds work find. The one thing that doesn't work is the weaving of OpenJPA which requires -javaagent:<openJPA>/openjpa-3.1.0.jar on the command line. I am not able to figure out how to get this into the execution path of Gradle within Netbeans. It always fails with not getting the -javaagent argument passed to the JVM from within NB. I can try the Run button in the menu bar or right-click "run <main class>", same problem. OpenJPA doesn't work because the weaving is not possible ... the Java Agent is missing.
I have tried the build config in Netbeans under Project - Properties - Build - BuildActions with run and run.single, no luck - I can not find the right syntax for JVM arguments. Either they're ignored or I get an error message. I have tried modifying the local gradlew script by injecting the argument in the command string, but when I run it from the command line, it finds the Java Agent (Open JPA weaver) but still fails because the classpath is not set correctly, all dependent libs are missing. When I run it from within NB, it ignores any changes to my local gradlew (which is confusing in itself). This is honestly driving me nuts ... I got it to run nicely in IntelliJ with their concept of "Run configurations" which allows for direct specification of JVM parameters. NB doesn't seem to have such a concept. How can I pass a -javaagent argument to a gradle task (run, runSingle) started within NB? Any help greatly appreciated ... before I go back to Ant and stop wasting more time :-( Thx Matthias
