Java 17 if that matters.For any Java project (my opinion, based on experience
with all three options.):Prefer Maven over Ant.Prefer Gradle over Maven.There
are exceptions and how well you know each tool will certainly influence the
order that works for you.I don’t think Gradle is an option for a NetBeans
Platform project. So Maven is the best choice in this situation.I don’t think
there is a case where I would ever choose to create a new Ant-based project
these days. It is more flexible than Maven, but far more awkward to work with
than Gradle. IMO it should probably be hidden as a legacy option in the New
Project
