Dear Matthias,
Most of the properties you are seeing in the Project Properties on a
Gradle project are read-only. At the moment we are not trying to edit
the build files. That has to be done manually, we just read them through
Gradle.
Please check the following:
https://docs.gradle.org/current/dsl/org.gradle.api.tasks.JavaExec.html
The 'run' task in Gradle is a JavaExec so you can configure the jvm args
with:
run.jvmArgs '-javaagent....'
in your build file.
runSingle is a NetBeans injected task, you can define it in your project
if you wish as of:
tasks.create('runSingle', JavaExec) {
main = project.getProperty('runClassName')
classpath = project.sourceSets.main.runtimeClasspath
standardInput = System.in
jvmArgs '-javaagent...'
if (project.hasProperty('runArgs')) {
args = project.getProperty('runArgs').tokenize(' ')
}
}

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
