Christoph It so happens I have just read a migration guide that looks reasonable and do-able. It's at
https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/migrating_from_ant.html and addresses option for Ant and mentions Ivy. The guide suggests Ant and Gradle builds coexist until one has confidence that both build tools produce the same things. I'm not yet sure I can foresee how Netbeans IDE might play along with or assist the approach suggested. One thing they do not cover is how to switch NB-IDE project configuration to a standard Gradle project. I definitely do not know how to do that without making a mess.
