What's new in this version

1.4.0 -> 1.4.1

  • Fixed project loading when using Gradle 4.0 and configure on demand.
  • Fixed a possible issue where project dependencies are not properly detected when loading a project while it is not built.
  • Fixes a possible bug when referencing files with UNC paths in the build script.
  • Enabled compiling single file in the context menu of source files (it will run the classes task by default).
  • Automatically detecting if source roots are created outside the IDE.
  • Compile on save action will no longer trigger concurrently with other non-blocking tasks.
  • No longer showing .gradle directory as a build script under the build script node.
  • Improved the detection of links to files in the output window (i.e., detecting files from other subprojects as well).
  • Support for custom JVM argument configuration for the Run/Debug command.

1.3.9.2 -> 1.4.0

  • Dependency node distinguishes between dependencies on different source sets of the same project.
  • Greatly reduced memory consumption for large projects.
  • The user is notified if the project cache is too small to work efficiently.
  • Some new file templates are now enabled.
  • Fixes an NPE when deleting some output directories while the plugin is checking that directory.
  • Project dependency handling is now more clever: When you reload a project, all project dependening on it (even unopened ones) should refresh their state.
  • When using the composite build feature of Gradle, dependencies are recognized as project dependencies.
  • New subprojects added to a multi-project build should no longer require an explicit reload of the root project.
  • A project with Kotlin based build script is recognized as a Gradle project.
  • Adding the same directory as source root multiple times with different filters should be displayed properly.
  • Improved cooperation with some plugin (QuickOpener in particular).
  • Subprojects nodes now have a context menu containing everything a project node has (meaning that you don't have to open a project simply to run a task).
  • You can now use environment variables in specifying the location of Gradle in the form of ${env.MY_VARIABLE}.

1.3.9.1 -> 1.3.9.2

  • Fixes regression: NPE thrown for projects only applying the java-base plugin. (e.g. for LibGDX projects)
  • Fixes regression: Running tests from the the tested class (not the test class) does not run the tests.
  • Enabling all features of the Groovy integration of NetBeans for projects applying the groovy plugin.
  • Performace improvement: Debugger should start faster in some cases. See issue 267969.
  • New API: Added utility classes to create model builders via reflection.
  • Prevents some unnecessary project model load for unopened projects.
  • The class path of .gradle files now contain the jars inside lib/plugins directory of Gradle.
  • Workaround for issues when non-proxy hosts are specified. See issue #139.

1.3.9 -> 1.3.9.1

  • Fixes regression: Test single class for tests in the root project executes all tests.
  • Fixes regression: Enabling compile on save will cause NetBeans to report errors for non-Gradle projects.
  • Fixes regression: Extensions using the old (now deprecated) API (such as the EE plugin) are broken.

  • Fixes regression: Extensions using the old (now deprecated) API (such as the EE plugin) are broken.

1.3.8.1 -> 1.3.9

  • New task variable: ${selected-file} for tasks associated with a file (e.g.: run/test single)
  • New task variable: ${project-path} which is the fully qualified name of the project (i.e.: org.gradle.api.Project.getPath).
  • run/debug tasks are no longer executed on subprojects by default.
  • It is now possible to detect project dependencies based on the name of the jar file. That is, if a project generates a jar file with this name, the dependency is replaced with a project dependency.
  • settings.gradle on the editor tab is now annotated with the name of its containing directory.
  • gradle.properties on the editor tab is now annotated with the name of its containing directory. Only works if "multi-row tabs" are enabled in the global settings.
  • Directories containing a -build.gradle are now also recognized as Gradle projects.
  • Project display name format can now be customized on a (multi-)project level.
  • The organization of source nodes can now be customized on a (multi-)project level.
  • It is now possible to define custom task variables.
  • It is now possible to set a global default for every project property (from the project properties dialog, select the global profile).
  • New API: Better way to define a settings editor page for profile aware project properties. The old API is now deprecated.
  • New API: Custom model loading now has new interfaces to implement not referencing org.gradle.api.Project as they are no longer in the Tooling API. The old interfaces are deprecated and will be removed (really) in the future to allow upgrading to a new Tooling API version.
  • Fixed some rare NullPointerException: Issue 289.
  • The license header selection page in the project properties is now more user friendly.
  • The default run/debug tasks now configure the cmdLineArgs property with the task variable: ${cmd-line-args} for the projects. The init script applied by NetBeans will try to configure the run and debug tasks using this property. This with the ability of custom task variable definition now allows for a reasonable command line argument definition.
  • When it is not possible to load the project due to a script error, the project's context menu will contain a "Resolve project problems" menu which opens a dialog where you can see more details on the problem.
  • When there is a dependency resolution issue, the plugin does a best effort to gather as many dependencies as it can (it is only a best effort, there is no guarantee that it will only omit the one which it failed to resolve).
  • The default init script, this plugin applies, will try to cooperate with the application Gradle plugin as much as it possibly can.
  • Run/Debug/Build/Test/Clean/Reload project in the context menu now all have a shortcut key.
  • Should fix Bug 267789.
  • Removed the refresh project node action from the project's context menu because it lacked usefulness and was misleading.

What's new in this version

1.3.7.3 -> 1.3.8

  • Fixes memory leak caused by too many output windows: issue number 256355 in netbeans.org/bugzilla
  • Added "Find" action to the project's context menu
  • The "Gradle Home" node under the "Build Scripts" node now lists every .gradle files in /.gradle
  • Init scripts automatically applied for task execution by NetBeans can now be configured to be manually maintained. Manual maintaining should only be used if these scripts interfere with the build (otherwise the scripts won't be updated on the next plugin update).
  • Added support for new debugging mode: Debuggee attaches to NetBeans. In this mode, detaching the debugger immediately kills the debugee. Also, in this new mode you no longer need a separate `debug` task (run is used instead by default). This is configurable both in the global settings and in the project properties.
  • Fixes #251: Saving task from the custom task execution task dialog no longer removes every other custom tasks.
  • Fixes #241: Projects without a settings.gradle found under a multi-project build with a settings.gradle can now be opened (still, they are not recommended). This feature requires loading of the root project first (which is usually not a problem), if this is undesired, loading of root project first can be disabled in the global settings.
  • Fixed "May rely on source level / target compatibility of Idea plugin" (the global settings page ignored this checkbox).
  • There is only a single "source" tab for .gradle files now
  • The default Gradle version is now 2.10
  • API improvement: NodeFactory.Registration annotation is now supported
  • API improvement: ProjectCustomizer.CompositeCategoryProvider.Registrations annotation is now supported
  • API improvement: Added GradleCommandServiceFactory. This allows running something in the background while a Gradle command is running (stopped after the Gradle command terminates).
  • API improvement: Added ProjectSettingsProvider: Allows extensions to access profile based configuration.
  • API improvement: Added ProfileBasedConfigurations: Allows extensions to easily create a settings page to adjust configuration of an arbitrary profile.

1.3.7 -> 1.3.7.3

  • Fixes a possible crash when NetBeans searches for projects on UNC paths.
  • Fixed an issue where a project loading were unnecessary.

1.3.6 -> 1.3.7

  • Improved handling of non-default root projects.
  • Project view icons now have an "opened" version.
  • Sources can now be grouped by source sets.
  • Fixes NPE when displaying the global settings using GTK Look and Feel.
  • JavaFX files can now be added in the add new file dialog.
  • Fixes regression: Project wizards will create invalid files when Change Line Endings on Save plugin is not installed.
  • New extension API: Other NetBeans plugins might define additional arguments passed to Gradle.
  • Reduced the number of (unnecessary) class path scanning requests.
  • Improved the detection of test outputs for custom test tasks (Issue #200).
  • Fixed an NPE when opening the stack trace node in the test results window.
  • Fixed input provided to Gradle (via the standard input) when using unicode characters requiring more than one byte in UTF-16.
  • Working around a Gradle bug which prevents forwarding input to standard input (unless you close the input stream) on Windows. The workaround replaces LF characters with CR LF on Windows (can be turned off in the global settings).

1.3.5 -> 1.3.6

  • Fixes regression: Sometimes the run/debug/generate javadoc commands are disabled for no reason.
  • Fixes regression: Project wizards will create invalid files when the line ending is not LF.
  • Executing debug tasks via Ctrl+F11 no longer cancels the build immediately.
  • Root project in custom locations are now supported. For this feature to work, you have to keep the root project open. (Note: If you have multiple root projects open for a single subproject, NetBeans will pick one at random).
  • New task variable: ${env.MY_ENV_VAR} where "MY_ENV_VAR" can be any environment variable and the task variable will be replaced by the value of the given environment variable.

1.3.4 -> 1.3.5

  • The default Gradle version is now 2.4.
  • The plugin will now be less eager to close nodes in the project view when reloading the project.
  • New Gradle files can now be added using the new file wizard.
  • Source files outside the project directory are now supported (they are still not recommended).
  • The "Build Scripts" node in the project view should now display a lot more known script files (e.g.: global init scripts, root project) and has a useful context menu.
  • The plugin will now find more tasks of what the project declares (especially with Gradle 2.4).
  • Fixed some automatic link detections in the output window (more precise underlining and now supports file and https URLs).
  • The display name of the project can now be customized in the global settings.
  • Gradle arguments (e.g.: --offline) can now be specified for all Gradle commands and project loading in the global settings.
  • The timeout for the Gradle daemon to die can now be set in the global settings.
  • You can now specify a preference order for the added JDKs. This is useful if you have multiple JDKs with the same major version number (e.g.: 32 bit or 64 bit).
  • It is now possible to specify in the global settings to rely on the Gradle wrapper by default and also specify a Gradle installation to use when there is no wrapper.
  • Reworked the project properties dialog and the global settings panel (including many UI improvements).
  • From this version, settings set by future versions of this plugin will no longer be removed by an older version (at least 1.3.5) of this plugin.
  • Property usage through `AuxiliaryConfiguration` is now safe for extensions.
  • Completely refactored the internal property handling, so adding new properties will be a lot easier in the future.

1.3.3 -> 1.3.4

  • Fixed a bug in the default "build" task when skip test or skip check is turned on.
  • Added compile on save feature (runs "Apply Code Changes" action).

1.3.2 -> 1.3.3

  • Warning: Using Gradle 2.3 is not fully supported by this plugin (there will be some feature loss) due to a Gradle bug (already fixed in Gradle). Regardless, this version of this plugin will try its best to load the project. (Issue #178)
  • Skipped tests are no longer displayed as failures with newer versions of Gradle. (Issue #167)
  • If there are no sources for a dependency but there is a javadoc artifact (and the idea plugin of Gradle is configured to download them), the javadoc artifact is used to display the javadoc (rather than nothing). (Issue #179)
  • Only links are underlined in the output window, not the whole line (consequently, multiple links might appear in a single line). (Issue #164)
  • NetBeans will now be less eager to fully load projects when they are not needed.
  • Exclude and include rules of source directory sets. (Issue #184)
  • NetBeans should now show source files found in directories excluded from VCS. (Issue #132)
  • When a project has many Gradle tasks, they are automatically grouped in the project's context menu. (Issue #104)

1.3.1 -> 1.3.2

  • When using Gradle 2.1 or later, the build can now be cancelled clicking on the small "x" on the task progress bar. There might be a few seconds timeout before cancellation.
  • When using Gradle 2.1 or later, unattaching the debugger now cancels the build (killing the debuggee process). There might be a few seconds timeout before cancellation.
  • Fixes Issue #152

  • 1.3.0 -> 1.3.1

    • Background tasks are now displayed on the progressbar as soon as they are scheduled to be executed.
    • Fixed Gradle 2.0 incompatibility.

  • Fixes automatic localization feature of the GUI editor: Issue #129.
  • Standard out and standard error are now displayed in test results window: Issue #126.

1.2.9 -> 1.3.0

  • The model (source sets, dependencies, etc.) of a project is remembered between NetBeans sessions. The model is automatically refreshed (in the background) upon first project load but if you did not change anything relevant, you can start working without waiting for the slow project loading.
  • Run/Debug focused test method is now supported. This feature requires Gradle 1.10 or newer.
  • Running tests in custom source sets is now supported. This feature relies on some heuristic: It is expected that the source set name is the same as the associated test task (an undefined heuristic is used to find mapping between source sets and test tasks when there is no exact match).
  • The Test Results window of NetBeans is now used when explicitly running tests.
  • It is now possible to delete empty source roots from the project's context menu: "Source roots/Delete empty source roots".
  • Custom test tasks are now listed in the project's context menu under "Custom Tests".
  • It is now possible to refresh the project node. This is useful when the source roots have changed externally.
  • Task options (such as "--tests") can now be specified in the task list of custom commands.
  • Fixed a bug when the path to the temporary directory contained a non-ascii character on Windows. Issue #122.
  • Fixed a bug when the "Repeat build" command was used to re-run debug tasks.
  • Fixed a bug of the new project wizard when deleting the last used folder. Bug 240632.
  • Using Gradle 1.11 when there is no information what Gradle version is to be used.
  • API improvement: Added various new features for extensions when they run Gradle commands.

1.2.8 -> 1.2.9

  • Fixed a bug when parsing some projects (IllegalAccessException: Issue #101).
  • Major improvement in error reporting: NetBeans will now distinguish between various problem and report them accordingly to the user. For example, it can distinguish between build script errors, dependency resolution failures, unexpected errors (probably bugs).
  • Dependency resolution failure of a project will no longer fail the loading of each project in the multi-project build. Rather, if the dependencies of a project cannot be loaded, only that project will be affected (and even this project will "only" miss the dependencies).
  • Balloons are displayed for problems instead of output tabs and message boxes.
  • Repeat Build/Run (Ctrl-F11) is now supported (Issue #109).
  • Fixed temporary directory handling in multi user environment (Issue #111).
  • Projects like a typical root project no longer has an empty dependencies node.
  • No longer load projects just because their root folder is shown in the favorits window (Issue #25).
  • No longer load projects when they are selected (but not opened) in the open project dialog.
  • "Failed to download sources" is no longer shown on success.
  • Run is no longer enabled on projects like a typical root project.
  • Test is now enabled again on all projects (if you are using NBAndroid note that the test task will be "test" except for Android subprojects).
  • The default Gradle version is now 1.10.
  • When NetBeans evaluates a project for determining the project layout (etc.), it will set the project property "evaluatingIDE" to "NetBeans". Note, this is not done when executing tasks from NetBeans, only for loading models.
  • New API to extend the plugin.

1.2.6 -> 1.2.8

  • Major change: The "idea" plugin is no longer used when using Gradle 1.9 or above. It is still possible to revert to using the "idea" plugin based API by configuring so in the global settings)
  • The last set profile is now used when restarting NetBeans.
  • Source files next to a binary are now detected if they have the "-sources.zip" prefix instead of ".jar".
  • Apply code changes is now fixed (broken since 1.2.3).
  • Fixed Run file / Debug file when "skip tests" is checked in the global settings.
  • Improved caption of output tabs for custom tasks.
  • The output tab now has two buttons: "Rerun" and "Rerun with different args".
  • The project wizard dialog now looks more like other project wizards.
  • Using Gradle 1.9 as a fallback.
  • Warning dialog when Gradle 1.8 is used (Issue #74).
  • Fixed localization issue in the GUI designer (Issue #88).
  • It is now possible to generate missing source root folders (project's context menu: "Create source roots").
  • Fixed source detection of third party libraries when using Gradle 1.9.
  • It is now possible to extend the API via the ProjectServiceProvider annotation (it is however recommended to use the extension API).

  • Fixes memory leak caused by too many output windows: issue number 256355 in netbeans.org/bugzilla
  • Added "Find" action to the project's context menu
  • The "Gradle Home" node under the "Build Scripts" node now lists every .gradle files in /.gradle
  • Init scripts automatically applied for task execution by NetBeans can now be configured to be manually maintained. Manual maintaining should only be used if these scripts interfere with the build (otherwise the scripts won't be updated on the next plugin update).
  • Added support for new debugging mode: Debuggee attaches to NetBeans. In this mode, detaching the debugger immediately kills the debugee. Also, in this new mode you no longer need a separate `debug` task (run is used instead by default). This is configurable both in the global settings and in the project properties.
  • Fixes #251: Saving task from the custom task execution task dialog no longer removes every other custom tasks.
  • Fixes #241: Projects without a settings.gradle found under a multi-project build with a settings.gradle can now be opened (still, they are not recommended). This feature requires loading of the root project first (which is usually not a problem), if this is undesired, loading of root project first can be disabled in the global settings.
  • Fixed "May rely on source level / target compatibility of Idea plugin" (the global settings page ignored this checkbox).
  • There is only a single "source" tab for .gradle files now
  • The default Gradle version is now 2.10
  • API improvement: NodeFactory.Registration annotation is now supported
  • API improvement: ProjectCustomizer.CompositeCategoryProvider.Registrations annotation is now supported
  • API improvement: Added GradleCommandServiceFactory. This allows running something in the background while a Gradle command is running (stopped after the Gradle command terminates).
  • API improvement: Added ProjectSettingsProvider: Allows extensions to access profile based configuration.
  • API improvement: Added ProfileBasedConfigurations: Allows extensions to easily create a settings page to adjust configuration of an arbitrary profile.

1.3.7 -> 1.3.7.3

  • Fixes a possible crash when NetBeans searches for projects on UNC paths.
  • Fixed an issue where a project loading were unnecessary.

1.3.6 -> 1.3.7

  • Improved handling of non-default root projects.
  • Project view icons now have an "opened" version.
  • Sources can now be grouped by source sets.
  • Fixes NPE when displaying the global settings using GTK Look and Feel.
  • JavaFX files can now be added in the add new file dialog.
  • Fixes regression: Project wizards will create invalid files when Change Line Endings on Save plugin is not installed.
  • New extension API: Other NetBeans plugins might define additional arguments passed to Gradle.
  • Reduced the number of (unnecessary) class path scanning requests.
  • Improved the detection of test outputs for custom test tasks (Issue #200).
  • Fixed an NPE when opening the stack trace node in the test results window.
  • Fixed input provided to Gradle (via the standard input) when using unicode characters requiring more than one byte in UTF-16.
  • Working around a Gradle bug which prevents forwarding input to standard input (unless you close the input stream) on Windows. The workaround replaces LF characters with CR LF on Windows (can be turned off in the global settings).

1.3.5 -> 1.3.6

  • Fixes regression: Sometimes the run/debug/generate javadoc commands are disabled for no reason.
  • Fixes regression: Project wizards will create invalid files when the line ending is not LF.
  • Executing debug tasks via Ctrl+F11 no longer cancels the build immediately.
  • Root project in custom locations are now supported. For this feature to work, you have to keep the root project open. (Note: If you have multiple root projects open for a single subproject, NetBeans will pick one at random).
  • New task variable: ${env.MY_ENV_VAR} where "MY_ENV_VAR" can be any environment variable and the task variable will be replaced by the value of the given environment variable.

1.3.4 -> 1.3.5

  • The default Gradle version is now 2.4.
  • The plugin will now be less eager to close nodes in the project view when reloading the project.
  • New Gradle files can now be added using the new file wizard.
  • Source files outside the project directory are now supported (they are still not recommended).
  • The "Build Scripts" node in the project view should now display a lot more known script files (e.g.: global init scripts, root project) and has a useful context menu.
  • The plugin will now find more tasks of what the project declares (especially with Gradle 2.4).
  • Fixed some automatic link detections in the output window (more precise underlining and now supports file and https URLs).
  • The display name of the project can now be customized in the global settings.
  • Gradle arguments (e.g.: --offline) can now be specified for all Gradle commands and project loading in the global settings.
  • The timeout for the Gradle daemon to die can now be set in the global settings.
  • You can now specify a preference order for the added JDKs. This is useful if you have multiple JDKs with the same major version number (e.g.: 32 bit or 64 bit).
  • It is now possible to specify in the global settings to rely on the Gradle wrapper by default and also specify a Gradle installation to use when there is no wrapper.
  • Reworked the project properties dialog and the global settings panel (including many UI improvements).
  • From this version, settings set by future versions of this plugin will no longer be removed by an older version (at least 1.3.5) of this plugin.
  • Property usage through `AuxiliaryConfiguration` is now safe for extensions.
  • Completely refactored the internal property handling, so adding new properties will be a lot easier in the future.

1.3.3 -> 1.3.4

  • Fixed a bug in the default "build" task when skip test or skip check is turned on.
  • Added compile on save feature (runs "Apply Code Changes" action).

1.3.2 -> 1.3.3

  • Warning: Using Gradle 2.3 is not fully supported by this plugin (there will be some feature loss) due to a Gradle bug (already fixed in Gradle). Regardless, this version of this plugin will try its best to load the project. (Issue #178)
  • Skipped tests are no longer displayed as failures with newer versions of Gradle. (Issue #167)
  • If there are no sources for a dependency but there is a javadoc artifact (and the idea plugin of Gradle is configured to download them), the javadoc artifact is used to display the javadoc (rather than nothing). (Issue #179)
  • Only links are underlined in the output window, not the whole line (consequently, multiple links might appear in a single line). (Issue #164)
  • NetBeans will now be less eager to fully load projects when they are not needed.
  • Exclude and include rules of source directory sets. (Issue #184)
  • NetBeans should now show source files found in directories excluded from VCS. (Issue #132)
  • When a project has many Gradle tasks, they are automatically grouped in the project's context menu. (Issue #104)

1.3.1 -> 1.3.2

  • When using Gradle 2.1 or later, the build can now be cancelled clicking on the small "x" on the task progress bar. There might be a few seconds timeout before cancellation.
  • When using Gradle 2.1 or later, unattaching the debugger now cancels the build (killing the debuggee process). There might be a few seconds timeout before cancellation.
  • Fixes Issue #152

1.3.0 -> 1.3.1

  • Background tasks are now displayed on the progressbar as soon as they are scheduled to be executed.
  • Fixed Gradle 2.0 incompatibility.
  • There is no limit on how many concurrent tasks can be executed (was limited to 10 previously).
  • Fixes automatic localization feature of the GUI editor: Issue #129.
  • Standard out and standard error are now displayed in test results window: Issue #126.

1.2.9 -> 1.3.0

  • The model (source sets, dependencies, etc.) of a project is remembered between NetBeans sessions. The model is automatically refreshed (in the background) upon first project load but if you did not change anything relevant, you can start working without waiting for the slow project loading.
  • Run/Debug focused test method is now supported. This feature requires Gradle 1.10 or newer.
  • Running tests in custom source sets is now supported. This feature relies on some heuristic: It is expected that the source set name is the same as the associated test task (an undefined heuristic is used to find mapping between source sets and test tasks when there is no exact match).
  • The Test Results window of NetBeans is now used when explicitly running tests.
  • It is now possible to delete empty source roots from the project's context menu: "Source roots/Delete empty source roots".
  • Custom test tasks are now listed in the project's context menu under "Custom Tests".
  • It is now possible to refresh the project node. This is useful when the source roots have changed externally.
  • Task options (such as "--tests") can now be specified in the task list of custom commands.
  • Fixed a bug when the path to the temporary directory contained a non-ascii character on Windows. Issue #122.
  • Fixed a bug when the "Repeat build" command was used to re-run debug tasks.
  • Fixed a bug of the new project wizard when deleting the last used folder. Bug 240632.
  • Using Gradle 1.11 when there is no information what Gradle version is to be used.
  • API improvement: Added various new features for extensions when they run Gradle commands.

1.2.8 -> 1.2.9

  • Fixed a bug when parsing some projects (IllegalAccessException: Issue #101).
  • Major improvement in error reporting: NetBeans will now distinguish between various problem and report them accordingly to the user. For example, it can distinguish between build script errors, dependency resolution failures, unexpected errors (probably bugs).
  • Dependency resolution failure of a project will no longer fail the loading of each project in the multi-project build. Rather, if the dependencies of a project cannot be loaded, only that project will be affected (and even this project will "only" miss the dependencies).
  • Balloons are displayed for problems instead of output tabs and message boxes.
  • Repeat Build/Run (Ctrl-F11) is now supported (Issue #109).
  • Fixed temporary directory handling in multi user environment (Issue #111).
  • Projects like a typical root project no longer has an empty dependencies node.
  • No longer load projects just because their root folder is shown in the favorits window (Issue #25).
  • No longer load projects when they are selected (but not opened) in the open project dialog.
  • "Failed to download sources" is no longer shown on success.
  • Run is no longer enabled on projects like a typical root project.
  • Test is now enabled again on all projects (if you are using NBAndroid note that the test task will be "test" except for Android subprojects).
  • The default Gradle version is now 1.10.
  • When NetBeans evaluates a project for determining the project layout (etc.), it will set the project property "evaluatingIDE" to "NetBeans". Note, this is not done when executing tasks from NetBeans, only for loading models.
  • New API to extend the plugin.

1.2.6 -> 1.2.8

  • Major change: The "idea" plugin is no longer used when using Gradle 1.9 or above. It is still possible to revert to using the "idea" plugin based API by configuring so in the global settings)
  • The last set profile is now used when restarting NetBeans.
  • Source files next to a binary are now detected if they have the "-sources.zip" prefix instead of ".jar".
  • Apply code changes is now fixed (broken since 1.2.3).
  • Fixed Run file / Debug file when "skip tests" is checked in the global settings.
  • Improved caption of output tabs for custom tasks.
  • The output tab now has two buttons: "Rerun" and "Rerun with different args".
  • The project wizard dialog now looks more like other project wizards.
  • Using Gradle 1.9 as a fallback.
  • Warning dialog when Gradle 1.8 is used (Issue #74).
  • Fixed localization issue in the GUI designer (Issue #88).
  • It is now possible to generate missing source root folders (project's context menu: "Create source roots").
  • Fixed source detection of third party libraries when using Gradle 1.9.
  • It is now possible to extend the API via the ProjectServiceProvider annotation (it is however recommended to use the extension API).

1.2.5 -> 1.2.6

  • Gradle 1.7 is now the default when no version is specified (neither in the project properties nor in the global settings).
  • Fixed a bug where fully qualified tasks might not always found. This matters only if "tasks must exist" is checked.
  • The tasks in custom Gradle commands are now detected properly even if a custom task variable containing space character is used.
  • Fixed a bug where the plugin sometimes failed to use the Gradle version set in the project properties.
  • Fixed a problem when converting printed stack traces to links to the source code.
  • If you use "[directory-name].gradle" instead of the default "build.gradle", it is treated the same way as "build.gradle" everywhere.

1.2.4 -> 1.2.5

  • Fixed a long standing issue where the source nodes were not displayed in some rare cases.

1.2.2 -> 1.2.4

  • Added a public API to allow other projects to extend the functionality of the plugin. The first plugin which is integrated is NBAndroid. Note however, that the new API is only usable for projects using Gradle 1.6 or later. Also, the support is rather experimental for every participant (This plugin, NBAndroid, Android build system and Gradle itself).
  • NetBeans classpath scanning should no longer interfere with the clean task.
  • Custom task variables can now be defined in the custom tasks dialog. These variables will be requested from the user in a pop-up dialog before executing the task. See the wiki page (Custom Task Variables) for details about this new feature.
  • Fixed a possible issue with refactoring across multiple opened projects (In previous releases, it was possible, that some opened projects were not considered for refactoring).
  • Regression: Issue #25 is reintroduced as a side effect of providing a public API.

  • Fixed a possible dead-lock when refactoring (Bug 228494 and Issue #37)
  • The display name of the project is now the one specified in the build script (only after the project has been loaded).

1.2.0 -> 1.2.1

  • Integration with the Change Line Endings on Save plugin
  • Improved detecting files on the output tab.
  • buildSrc is now recognized as part of the Gradle project. Note that you may need some manual tunning in the build script, if you want classpaths to be correctly recognized by NetBeans.
  • Automatically distinguishing source folders if you have more folders with the same type (e.g.: resource, test).
  • Added the possiblity to set formatting rules for the project in the project properties.
  • Apply Code Changes should now work as it works in the Maven plugin.
  • Predefined template file list is now supplied by the plugin.
  • It is now possible to define a license template file which is to be automatically added to files created by NetBeans.
  • Browsing for Gradle home now sets the text field instead of the button :)

  • Test single is allowed for Groovy files as well.
  • It is now possible to write data for the build script to read when running tasks. Note however that due to a Gradle bug (in Gradle 1.3), the input is only forwarded after the input is closed (Ctrl+D is pressed in the output window).

1.1.7 -> 1.1.8

  • Fixed a serious bug which could prevent NetBeans from starting. This bug affects all previous versions.
  • "Skip tests" global option no longer overwrites the arguments defined for cutomized built-in tasks.
  • Run and debug tasks are dynamically added if they do not exist for a given project.
  • Adjusted the scripts generated by the project wizards.
  • Run/debug single commands are now enabled and customizable.
  • Displaying a project folder in favorites will not automatically load the project.

1.1.6 -> 1.1.7

1.1.3 -> 1.1.4

  • Fixed a small memory leak.
  • Fixed a bug when the loaded project contained circular dependencies.

  • Directories containing a "settings.gradle" are also recognized as Gradle projects.
  • Directories containing a .gradle file with the same name as its containing directory are also recognized as Gradle projects.
  • It is now possible to specify that a Gradle task is "non-blocking". Non-blocking tasks will not be attempted to run concurrently and newly submitted tasks will wait for previously submitted non-blocking tasks to complete. This is to avoid starting multiple Gradle daemons when it is not necessary. Most built-in tasks are marked as non-blocking, the exceptions are debug and run tasks.
  • Fixed a possible NPE, if a Java platform is added to NetBeans which do not have a specification version.
  • The name of the target platform is saved to the project properties file. This is to avoid confusing different kind of platforms.

  • Adds New Project wizards
  • Fixes the icon problem of Gradle files.

Introduction

Allows opening directories containing a "build.gradle" file as a project in NetBeans. The opened project then can be used as a usual Java project.

Since 1.1.3, directories containing a "settings.gradle" and directories containing a .gradle file with the same name as their folder are also recognized as Gradle projects.

If you are having an issue with the plugin please report it on the issue page of the plugin: https://github.com/kelemen/netbeans-gradle-project/issues because it is very inconvenient to track issues reported in the comments.

Failed to open project after moving to another directory

After moving a project to another directory it failed to correctly reopen the project again. I Tried the following...

. reloading the project
. deleting the gradle cash
. deleting the project and creating it again
. removing the plugin and install it again
. updated to latest gradle version

Nothing worked, and know I can't even create a project with the same name.

Otherwise, congrats on the plugin.

JSF custom components and CDI autocomplete not recognized

I'm migrating a project from maven to gradle, so far everything is ok, but I'm having problems with xhtml files:

-The IDE does not navigate to the CDI bean if i ctrl-click it in a xhtml file ( #{myBean} should navigate to MyBean class)

-Some namespaces are not working, IE: http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/composite/components or http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/passthrough . Surprisingly others are OK, such as http://primefaces.org/ui


All this features were working with maven, so it must be something with gradle. Any ideas?

Re: Run build but skip tests

You must list "-x" and "test" as a separate line in the arguments text box (as they are separate arguments). Alternatively, you can just write "-xtest" (i.e., no space between "-x" and "test").

Run build but skip tests

I can't set up "gradle build -x test" to run within NetBeans as a custom task.

Normally it should be set up as Tasks: "build" and Arguments: "-x test". However, this returns error: "Unknown command-line option '-x'.".

Also, the custom tasks don't show up properly under "Custom Tasks" when you right click on Gradle project name.

JVM Arguments in NetBeans with Gradle [solved]

Thanks to @MarvinFrommhold and his Post http://stackoverflow.com/a/26141841/7220665 I have finally found what I wanted.

I just had to extend the run task with

run {
systemProperties = System.properties
}
and my arguments are passed through to my application where I can use it.

JVM Arguments in NetBeans with gradle

I am having difficulties passing JVM arguments in NetBeans to my Gradle project. My previous attempts got no success and maybe someone can help me.

Here is what I have tried so far: I am adding the JVM Argument via right click on project --> Properties --> Build In Tasks --> Run --> Putting the JVM Value in the designated field

-Dtest=mytestvalue
When I run the project afterwards via right click and run it display:

Executing: gradle :run
Arguments: [-PcmdLineArgs=, -c, D:\NetBeansProjects\app\settings.gradle]
JVM Arguments: [-Dtest=mytestvalue]

:compileJava UP-TO-DATE
:processResources UP-TO-DATE
:classes UP-TO-DATE
:run

10:54:55.899 [main] System.getProperty('test') null
So the arguments are displayed in JVM Arguments: [-Dtest=mytestvalue] but not transferred to the application it seems and System.getProperty('test') results in null. I also tried using custom tasks with the same effect.

If I create a jar file and pass the arguments everything works as expected:

? java -Dtest=mytestvalue -jar app.jar
System.getProperty('test') mytestvalue
System.getProperty('test') results in mytestvalue.

My current workaround is to set the JVM arguments in the build.gradle file which works fine, but I want to get rid of writing the arguments directly into that file.

Netbeans does not work well with Gradle 2.3

I am attempting to build projects for libGDX it appears these are using gradle 2.3 and I am getting an error in netbeans to use V2.2.

Thanks.

Go to type (Ctrl + O) doesn't work. Find usages (Alt + F7) doesn't work.

NB8.0 or NB 8.2. Go to type (Ctrl + O) doesn't work. Types under gradle couldnt be searched. Find usages (Alt + F7) doesn't work.
Types under ANT coud be searched without any problems. What to do?

Sorry for the very late response but I did not receive any notification for the comment (next time, please use the https://github.com/kelemen/netbeans-gradle-project/issues) to report an issue.

Resolve Groovy Classes in the IDE: You have to set a directory in the global settings for your Gradle dist at the moment (you can still rely on the wrapper for anything else but the class path of the script).

Resolve dependencies freeze: It is likely a proxy issue but there is known issue with nonProxyHosts handling. See this issue (especially the last comment): https://github.com/kelemen/netbeans-gradle-project/issues/139

Resolve dependencies freeze

Hi,

I am very glad to see gradle plugin for netbeans.
I am using NB 8.1 and Gradle plugin 1.3.8.1, I am not able to load project from https://github.com/kelemen/netbeans-gradle-project.git; it is still resolving and resolving and nothing is resolved :-( may be it could be some proxy or other, but in Netbeans proxy is set up correctly, in general gradle settings too. So, could you give me some advice, how to find, where the root cause is.

with best regards, jiri

Resolve Groovy Classes in the IDE

I wondering how to resolve Java, Groovy and Gradle classes that I import into a Gradle build script so that I do not get red highlights in the IDE. For example, if I do this:

import org.apache.tools.ant.filters.ReplaceTokens
import groovy.sql.Sql

these lines are highlighted in red. The build works fine, they are obviously being found, just not by the IDE. I use a gradle wrapper, so I do not have a Gradle installation, as such, on my dev machine.

Re: Potential Issue/Question

Please open an issue on https://github.com/kelemen/netbeans-gradle-project with a sample project with which I can reproduce your issue (with the explanation on what you expect to see and what happens instead). It is hard track issues here.

Potential Issue/Question

It seems Netbeans does not properly resolve the source paths (as far as jumping using ctrl+shift+B) in certain circumstances. i have two source sets as follows:
/Src
/QcUpdates
I also have a library jar file with source code as follows:
someLibrary-12.1.0.jar
I create a newer version of the class file that exists in the library in QcUpdates source. Then i reference that new code from the Src directory. Everything compiles ok and there are no red x's, but if i try to jump to the code, it always reverts to the jar file.

is there a way to identify if sources are set up in the wrong order? Thanks for your help. Let me know if you need sample files.

As you can see the JVM terminated with an error. This usually happens when the JVM cannot allocate enough memory. Check the error message of your JVM in the output window.

Search for dependencies in MAVEN repos


I'm switching to Gradle from MAVEN and strongly miss ability of 'assisted' search for dependencies.

When in MAVEN project I right-click on dependencies node in project tree the first item in popup is "Add Dependency ..." which brings up a dialog where i can search by class name of whatever else for MAVEN artifacts contained in locally indexed MAVEN repos.

Same thing can be triggered from code - there is "Search for dependencies ..." item in popup for unresolved symbols.

After searching - manually selected artifact will be automatically inserted into dependencies in pom.xml.

I understand that unlike MAVEN in Gradle there are plenty of places to inject string with dependency instruction and this step cannot be automated, but it would be very handy to have repository 'searcher' tool like in MAVEN project with the only difference - instead of "Add" button show edit box with dependency string generated in various popular formats.

For reference:
Maven Add Dependency dialog: http://fgeorges.org/tmp/maven-nb-xspec.png
Various formats for dependency strings: http://www.mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.codehaus.groovy/groovy-all/2.4.4#gradle

PS: most probably this needs to be done as generic Netbeans feature, not only in context of Gradle plugin and i have reported feature request for that https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=256536.

Re: Re: Running command line executables

I don't know what plugin you are using for this snippet to work. However, you should not specify relative path. So, for location write "$project.projectDir/src/main/resources" instead.
Posted by attila.kelemen on Oct 29, 2015
  

Re: Re: Running command line executables

So how would I change this snippet

generateVersionFile {
location = "$project.name/src/main/resources"
buildNumber = project.version
}

in order to specify the working directory used inside this task?

Regards

Re: Running command line executables

You have to explicitly specify the working directory. Your task is running in a process which may execute multiple tasks (the Gradle daemon), so there is not way to rely on the current working directory of the process executing your task. For example, you might want to use the "Exec" task of Gradle which lets you specify the working directory (and by default it is the project directory).

Running command line executables

Hi,

When I run something like gradle build and some task tries to execute something on the bash most of the times it wont find the executable or the execution is made outside the project dir. For example this error:

generateVersionFile
Executing command: git log -1 --pretty=format:%h
stderr: fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

stdout:
generateVersionFile FAILED

this happens because I think git is executed on a different dir. If I run this on the command line directly it works.

Someone has ideas how to fix this?

Regards

Re: Permissions error from gradle daemon on windows

My guess is that you somehow started the Gradle daemon with another user (and the daemon is being reused by NetBeans). What I would try is to kill the daemon and delete the whole "build" directory. So that next time the directory will be created with the approriate user.
Posted by attila.kelemen on Oct 08, 2015
  

Permissions error from gradle daemon on windows

So I can use gradle fine from the command line but when I run in netbeans with this plugin, as I understand it, it is using the gradle daemon. For some reason a build/clean gives the following error:

:clean
:assetCompile FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':assetCompile'.
> Failed to create parent directory 'C:\dev\netbeans\AttDemoServer\build\assetCompile' when creating directory 'C:\dev\netbeans\AttDemoServer\build\assetCompile\assets'

This just started happening and somewhat out of the blue. The only thing I can think of that I changed is adding a new maven repository for grails plugins i.e. ->


maven { url "http://repo.grails.org/grails/plugins" }

Removing this one line did not fix the issue. What it is essentially doing is removing rwx permissions for me, the user from assetCompile directory or creating it without rwx permissions and then subsequently trying to create the assets directory underneath it.

I can get around all of this by using the command line which is why I think it's something specific to either how the gradle daemon is running or something the plugin is doing.

Any ideas?

edit: I'm running gradle 2.7

edit2: running netbeans as administrator "fixed" this but I'd like to understand how I could fix the problem so that I don't have to do this.

Re: Plugin keeps downloading Gradle unnecessarily

If you did not configure otherwise in the project properties then it shouldn't attempt to download Gradle (by the way the downloaded Gradle is cached in "~/.gradle/wrapper").

Anyway, please open an issue here: https://github.com/kelemen/netbeans-gradle-project/issues because it is very inconvenient to track issues on this comment page. Also, please post a screenshot of your project properties window (Gradle project page).

Plugin keeps downloading Gradle unnecessarily

I am evaluating Gradle with the plugin on a small project. I have downloaded Gradle and using Gradle from the command line works perfectly on this project.
I have set the "Gradle installation directory" in the Netbeans Options and unchecked "Prefer wrapper". Whenever I try to open the gradle-based project in Netbeans, it tries to download Gradle itself, and then it hangs.
My concern is not with the "hanging" but with the fact that the plugin wants to download Gradle. Is there any way to prevent that? Thak you!

Re: External Directories

If you can map those locations, you can create a new source set. Also, you can make it so that the source set is only visible to NetBeans by checking if the 'evaluatingIDE' property exists and has the value 'NetBeans'.

External Directories

Can i add an external reference? We have all of our source code in one directory. However, we also have a configuration directory that is used by the applications that resides in a network location. These are just simply XML files and i would like to be able to see them under the files tab. Is this possible?

Re: Don't start the daemon if there is NOT any gradle project

The daemon is started by Gradle's API and is only done so if a Gradle project is loaded (note that NB can request to load a project for many reasons even if not opened). Though I try to avoid loading a project if it is not really necessary, there might still be cases when it can be done better. You can do the following:

- Reduce the memory foot print of the daemon by adding "-Xmx256m" (or whatever) to the "Gradle JVM arguments" in the global settings.
- Reduce the timeout after the Gradle daemon dies in the global settings.
- Try build the plugin from the sources, maybe I have already noticed something to reduce the number of unnecessary project loads.
- Send me you IDE logs, so I can check why your projects get loaded.
Posted by attila.kelemen on Jun 15, 2015
  

Don't start the daemon if there is NOT any gradle project

Please,

I have only 2 projects on 15 which are built with gradle.
It's a p.i.t.a to have this extra memory and CPU gone for nothing (these projects are not even loaded in my Netbeans) when I'm not on the main computer .
Sometimes we have to work on low-profile hardware.
!! Not every PC or laptop are 16GB of RAM !!

I'm OK to deal with gradle daemon when I'm working on gradle but when I'm dealing with PLAIN (netbeans or maven) project;
Not even one gradle project opened why do we have to start the gradle daemon ???

Is there some switch or should I just remove the all plugin and forgot about it ?

Thanks

Odd behavior when using multiple projects

I've been having some odd behavior when using multiple gradle projects in my workspace. We have the workspace set up with one project as our main (base code) and then multiple other projects that depend on main are projects that contain customer-specific code. Some of the issues appear to be NetBeans caching information from previous build files. Does that seem right? If so, is there a way to clear that information?

Duplicate Folders

Well, running a LibGDX "solution" through Gradle.
All Projects are fine, but the Android one suddenly displays duplicates of several folders, including Source Packages and Dependencies, as well as a duplicate of a Custom Task.

This happened with the last update 1.3.6 and continues with 1.3.7

Using gradle-2.1-all
And Android build tools 0.13+

Re: Problem Using Standard Input

I'm not sure if copy pasting CR LF is possible but if it were, it should work. Anyway, my intended workaround is to replace LF with the platform specific line separator.

Re: Problem Using Standard Input

I have found what exactly causes this bug in Gradle and knowing it, I might be able to implement a workaround. I can't promise it for the next release but most likely the release after. Until then, if you can copy paste CR LF (i.e., "\r\n") into the input window, Gradle will flush its own buffer.

Problem Using Standard Input

I have an application that I am running with a Gradle project, but I am unable to enter standard input and have the program respond. The way the application works when running in the foreground allows you to enter options to see various diagnostic statuses or to simulate other inputs from separate applications. Here is the portion of the gradle file launching:

task fulfillmentMgr << {
javaexec {
classpath = sourceSets.main.compileClasspath
//debug = true
main = 'com.qcsoftware.products.fulfillmentmgr.FulfillmentMgr'
args = [
'-r',
'-t', "0x7431"
]
systemProperties = ['CONFIG_DIR':'q:/Projects/QcDev/System/Config']
standardInput = System.in
}
}

I can send a Ctrl+D and then i see what I am expecting but that also closes standard input and basically renders the application useless from that point on. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You have to set the "jvmArgs" property of your test task in the build script (you should do this even for when you are not running the tests from NB).

Re: "You are using Gradle 1.8"

One of your project is set to use Gradle 1.8. Either because it is set so in the Gradle wrapper, or explicitly in the project settings.

To fix this, you have to configure the plugin to use something else (possibly in the global settings). Gradle 1.8 and Gradle 2.3 has a bug in it which makes them less usable in NetBeans, so you should avoid those Gradle versions.

"You are using Gradle 1.8"

I had this annoying "You are using Gradle 1.8" message when launching Netbeans.

But I run Gradle 2.3 so why the f*** is that message supposed to mean? Not to mention that it broke everything and I cannot debug any project anymore..

Re:Love the plugin however

Another thing I can think of is that not all projects have a build.gradle. It might be a source of some issue. Altough, I did a few things to workaround this problem, it can never be perfect due to how NetBeans handles projects (it has benefits in some cases though).

Re:Love the plugin however

Clearing the cache didn't help.

If I go into the build script for a subproject and add references to the other projects in dependencies section like this

compile project(':other-project')

the marking of the files in error goes away.

Most of my co-workers use Eclipse and this project has been around for a while so I assume they must not have this issue.

Unfortunately I don't think I can share this with you since this is proprietary software. If I have some spare time maybe I cobble together something similar with dummy projects that has the problem.

I have opened and worked with many projects but now have a problem with one particular project with sub-projects.

Whether I open the subproject or the entire project with subprojects the plugiin doesn't seem to recognize packages in the other projects. From a command line I can build without error. I can even build without error with the plug but plugin is marking files in error that have imports to classes in one of the other subprojects.

This is Netbean 8.02 and up to date as far as I know.

Re: gradle plugin support of Native C++

This plugin doesn't have true c++ support. (a separate plugin should be created for this purpose) You can build the project because the plugin simply executes Gradle tasks for actions like "build".

The best you can do is (as far as I know) is to create fake source sets which are only visible to NetBeans as done in https://github.com/kelemen/netbeans-gradle-project/issues/115.

Anyway, I have no idea how a c++ support should look like in NB since I do not use NB for c++ development.

Re: Cannot open project with gradle plugin when pom.xml is present

Sadly, the preference order has to be static in NetBeans. At the moment, I do not want to change this order, but you can change it in the plugin and have a custom build for you.

To change this preference order, you have to add a "position" property to the ServiceProvider annotation in https://github.com/kelemen/netbeans-gradle-project/blob/master/netbeans-gradle-plugin/src/main/java/org/netbeans/gradle/project/NbGradleProjectFactory.java with low enough value (I think 100 would be ok).

Re: Project refuses to find JavaFX Button class

It is the daemon building the project. The only way I know of to shut down is to run "gradle --stop" (using the same version of Gradle). Though, I usually just kill the process, if I don't want it. Anyway, usually you don't want to kill it because leaving it alive will speed up subsequent builds by *a lot*. Also, you can set the maxmimum memory it uses in the global settings (Misc./Gradle) by adding the JVM argument "-Xmx512m" (or whatever you see fit). Gradle defaults to "-Xmx1024m" (which is often a waste).

Re: Project refuses to find JavaFX Button class

Thanks for the reply ..
Problem was with that particular jdk (openfx custom build).
If I was able to change platforms, I'm sure I would have noticed earlier. ;)

Now I have been searching google for my other problem (probably not the plugin) ...

When I build the project, everything compiles fine now.
I noticed however that (even when closing netbeans) there seems to be another JVM that starts and never terminates.

My guess is that this is a daemon for building the projects.
How do I get it to shut down?

On a fresh open of netbeans, running a "clean build",
that JVM jumps up to almost 1gb memory and steadily increases over time unless I go to task manager and end the process manually.

I've searched the Gradle docs,
but I couldn't seem to find much info on this situation.

Side note: Awesome work!

EDIT: This does not happen from the cmd line..

Re: Project refuses to find JavaFX Button class

The button problem has nothing to with the plugin (I'm sure about this). My guess is that "java.awt.Button" is imported or something like that (though I don't know your exact scenario).

About the target platform: The only thing the plugin considers is that first two numbers in the version. Say, "1.7" or "1.8" and finds an added platform with that version. This is so, that project properties might be committed into vcs. Altough, probably something have to be done about this (but noone complained yet). Currently, the only workaround is to remove the platforms, you don't want NetBeans to choose.

Project refuses to find JavaFX Button class

So ...

Fairly new to gradle, thought I'd do a test to try it out.

I created a root project, then created the subproject, created my Main class, and other jfx related classes.

In one of my classes I went to add a Button ... pretty straight forward .. The project refuses to find the javafx Button class without a fully qualified name "javafx.scene.control.Button",
yet all other jfx classes are found...

The project also will not allow me to change the target platform. Every time I attempt a change ie: 8.20 <-&-> 8.40ea the combo box resets to it's previous setting which is not even the default platform.

I'm on an x64 system, x64 jdk and ide. I do have one x86 jdk installed and the plugin seems to default to the x86 jdk.
Is x64 not supported?

Re: Offline Mode

Sadly, there is no such config in the plugin at the moment. So, as a workaround, you have to temporarily adjust your settings.gradle by adding "startParameter.offline=true".

Offline Mode

Is there a way to specify gradle --offline argument in this plugin?

Whenever I am on the train, gradle attempts to refresh dependencies, and fails as there is no connection. Nothing compiles afterwards.

Re: not working without much trouble

There is quite a bit of difference between Maven and Gradle and this has to be reflected by the plugin. Anyway, if you were to create a Gradle project through NetBeans' wizard, tasks would work as they do in other project types. However, you did wrote the script by hand and the script of your linked project is wrong: It actually says, that your project need Java 5. Why does it work from the command line? Because your JAVA_HOME is set to JDK 8 and Gradle has no other option but to use that regardless what you set. NetBeans on the other hand might have JDKs to choose the best from.

As for running Gradle tasks: There is little reason to use the command line, since NetBeans will just run Gradle tasks as well.

By "Main property" I assume you mean the main class containing the main method to be executed. The plugin simply executes the "run" Gradle task and does not want to know that there is actually a main class to be executed. This decision was made long time ago and there are some backward compatibility issues to consider if I want to change that. In real projects this is not usually an issue because you usually want to have a "run" task anyway (to be able to run a project from the command line without relying on NetBeans).

The advice I can give you is that if you want to learn how NetBeans and Gradle works together, you should start with a project generated by NetBeans. Those projects are simple and I think you will quickly learn what expectation does NetBeans have of your project (looking at the build script).

not working without much trouble

Hi ... I 'finally' an the example project to build on netbeans. The project is a JavaFX demo:

* https://bitbucket.org/hansolo/fridayfunxxii/

On bitbucket. I have netbeans 8.0.1, WINDOWS 7, no gradle until now for this demo -- I thought "why not".

Set gradle_home. All good?

I hade all kinds of errors about an exception. When I looked, some of the plugin was defaulting to Java 1.5 and java 1.7 -- One needs Java 8 for this demo -- I did what I could on that score. No luck.

Anyway I wend to the command line and did a

* Gradle build

Getting stuff about exceptions. In netbeans I had compile errors and stuff.

Eventually I re-ran gradle on the command line:

* Gradle build --stacktrace

And the thing build. When I did a build in Netbeans it worked too!

Spooky? Perhaps not I can't runt he program because unlike Netbeans and Maven projects; the gradel plugin doesn't let me specify a Main property.

As someone knowing nothing about gradle, the plugin needs to be at least similar enough to a Maven or Netbeans project so one can 'recognise' the common Java and Groovy project tasks and properties.

I'll be reading some more on gradle; for now I'm afraid it looks like I need to use the command line at least as much as the Netbeans Plugin.

Perhaps starting with a fresh Netbeans 8.0.1 and new gradle and attempting to build that same project will reveal what's missing. Better yet get an experienced Netbeans person who's never used Gradle and watch what they 'do' and 'assume'.

I definitely think the gui needs to support the main project properties.

Re: having problem compiling

You have to create your own debug task instead of relying on the default one provided by the plugin.

For example (the "mainClass" propery is checked because run single file passes that property by default):


def definedMainClass = project.hasProperty('mainClass') ? project.mainClass : ''
if (definedMainClass == null) definedMainClass = ''
definedMainClass = definedMainClass.toString()

task debug(type: JavaExec) {
dependsOn project.classes
main = definedMainClass
classpath = project.sourceSets.main.runtimeClasspath
standardInput = System.in
jvmArgs = ['-Xms128m', '-Xmx512m']
debug = true
}

RE: having problem compiling

I found the problem, not related to plugin indeed, one subproject was depended on Gradle 1.2, had to downgrade, all working fine.

Re: having problem compiling

This is not a problem in this plugin because NetBeans only asks Gradle to execute the build task. So it is either a problem in Gradle or a dependency problem of your project (the latter seems more likely to me). If you think it is not a problem in your project, you might ask about it on the Gradle forums (especially since Peter Niederwieser both the author of Spock and a developer of Gradle).

Re: Compiler crashes when using plugin

Most likely the reason for the difference between command line compilation and the one done within NetBeans, is that the plugin will use the first appropriate version (according to targetCompatibility) found within the added Java platforms. While the command line will use the JAVA_HOME environmental variable.

ps.: You have to set "targetCompatibility" and "sourceCompatibility" as a "global" property and not as the property of compileJava.

Compiler crashes when using plugin

I cannot compile the project at https://github.com/juleswhite/mobilecloud-14/tree/master/assignments/Asgn1-VideoUp using the Gradle Support plugin. If I try by running the wrapper from the command line (the one the project contains), it compiles perfectly fine.

I've tried both with the default/automatically installed gradle and my own installation of gradle.

Could this be an issue with my having JDK 8 installed, and the project targeting Java 7 (I do get a warning about this, and for some reason I cannot change the source version in the project properties, like I can for ordinary NetBeans or Maven projects)? Also, I see that the error occurs in a class called Jdk6JavaCompiler, am I required to install JDK 6 to make the plugin work? Would it be enough to install JDK7? I don't really want to install older versions, but I will if I have to.

I tried creating a HelloWorld project from scratch, and it worked perfectly fine.

EDIT: I've manage to fix it without having to install an additional version of the JDK. I simply had to manually set the source compatibility level in the build.gradle build configuration:

compileJava {
sourceCompatibility = 1.7
targetCompatibility = 1.7
}

I also truncated the below stack trace for good measure.

Netbeans 7.4 Could not install Gradle (Fixed)

Hello, I hope this helps.

I am using Ubuntu 13.04 and Netbeans 7.4 with Gradle 1.10.

After installing the Grade Support plugin for Netbeans I was not able to open or even create a simple Gradle project. I got this exception:

Afte some googling (nice sport on a good quite evening), I found that for some reason Netbeans or Gradle Wrapper is trying to use a version of Gradle that I do not have installed. In Ubuntu gradle is installed in /usr/lib/gradle/x.x if you install it through apt-get.

I then open Netbeans tools/options/Miscellaneous/Gradle tab and specified the Gradle Installation Directory to /usr/lib/gradle/1.10 in my case.

After this gradle project is loading properly, now I just need to fix some dependency issues, so I will keep googling for the rest of the evening.

Keep coding !

Re: Plugin tries to load every project I ever opened

It's not that the plugin opens a project but NetBeans and the plugin answers the request of the the IDE. However, I have never experienced what you wrote. I did see NB requesting information from projects from weird reason but certainly not everyone ever opened.

If you have a way to reproduce the issue, please report an issue on the Github page. I might be able to hack around this.

Plugin tries to load every project I ever opened

On several latest versions I noticed that when NetBeans is started the plugin tries to load every gradle project ever opened.
Is there a way to turn off such behavior and load only projects that are actually opened right now? It really is annoying since most of these projects aren't valid now but I still need them on filesystem.

It has a few glitches but overall it's great.
It helps a lot, don't have to waste time on converting gradle projects to classic NB projects.

Re: Cool Plugin, like it!

The newproject wizard itself cannot be customized. However, in the next release (probably this weekend) you will be able to define custom variables in the arguments of custom tasks to be replaced with something queried from the user. This is something I actually wrote for this purpose (even though it is a lot more generic). So, you are expected to write a Gradle task which is parameterizable from the command line (e.g.: "-PnewProjectName=MyProject"). In the Gradle task, you may create the new project based on that (although the project has to be opened manually).

I have already added a wiki page (https://github.com/kelemen/netbeans-gradle-project/wiki/Custom-Task-Variables) describing the format of the custom task variable. Note that this is not available in the current release. So, you have to build the plugin from the sources or wait for the next release.

Is there a smart way to customize the newproject gradle templates? As far as I can see one would have to patch the org-netbeans-gradle-project.jar

Love This Plugin

Gradle is the way to go. I would love to see it get first class support in NetBeans. Keep up the great work on this plugin. I can't go back to Ant or Maven. Gradle is like Maven without the frustration of nothing ever working the way you need it to and with 75% less code - none of which is tedious XML.

Re: Fantastic Plugin

Thank you. Loaded projects are cached because reloading projects might take quite a bit of time. So, if you adjust the buildscript and want NetBeans to know about the changes, you have to explicitly reload the project (right click on the project and reload). Regardless, if you run a custom task, it doesn't matter if NetBeans knows about that task. That is, Gradle will simply be asked to execute the requested task.

As for idea tasks, Gradle seems to add some of them regardless if you apply the "idea" plugin or not. By the way, NetBeans relies on the idea plugin as well, so adjusting things in the idea plugin should affect NetBeans (except if you make adjustment to the xmls of Idea).

Fantastic Plugin

I have been looking for a way to develop with Gradle from within an IDE with the ability to run all my tests and debug easily. This was lacking in IDEA and Eclipse would have been my last choice however this plugin is everything I need right now and I am a fan of NetBeans too :)

My only issue is that tasks removed from the build file seem to be cached or at least my old idea tasks do but I can live with that.

Fantastic work thanks a lot.

Re: wrong download

It is not the plugin storing the url but the project you attempt to load. That is, this is the URL specified for the Gradle wrapper (in "gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties").

Anyway, I don't think that the URL is wrong because I have just tried it and seems to work (i.e., I can download the zip from a browser). Besides, this is the URL specified in Gradle itself: https://github.com/gradle/gradle/blob/master/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties

Could it be a proxy error? I know from experience that the proxy settings in NetBeans must be properly set because it is somehow used by the Gradle Tooling API.

wrong download

Hello Attila and thanks for your reply, I manually downloaded gradle and by changing the setting I successfully run it!

The gradle zip in my home directory contained only this info:

Moved Permanently

The document has moved here.



I suppose the plugin should be updated with the new url?

Re: Plugin unable to download gradle

I have never seen such issue but seems weird. What JDK do you use?

Regardless, you can fix this particular problem by specifying where you have Gradle installed in the global settings: Tools/Options/Miscellaneous/Gradle/Gradle Installation Directory. This way the plugin won't try to download Gradle.

Other than this, what you can try is to delete the Gradle cache (~/.gradle), maybe the zip file got corrupted somehow.

Re: Re: Re: Great Plugin

Missing dependency issues would be a problem but I don't show the source folders because I don't know where they are at that time. That is, I load the project using the Tooling API of Gradle which tells me everything (where the source folders are, the dependencies, etc.) in a single method call and I have no control over it.

Re: Re: Great Plugin

"I don't know what you mean on "ability to edit/remove needs to be exposed", they can be edited and removed."

Sorry my bad I never spotted the button in the project properties dialog...

Just going back to the issue of loading, and to give my two cents...

As the project is loading, within the projects tab only the Dependencies folder and the (build/settings).gradle files are visible. meaning that when I open a gradle project I cannot get to my source/test files until gradle has finished loading.

Is it possible to re-think the loading of a gradle project to allow the src/test folders to be visible, so that when a user opens a project they can immediately get to their code.

Although if I understand it correctly if this was the case, netbeans would highlight missing dependency issues in the code until gradle has finished loading right? If so I think thats a reasonable, especially if those missing dependency issues are resolved in the netbeans editor as soon as the gradle project is fully loaded.

Re: Great Plugin

Hi,

Thank you. I will try to answer your remarks.


  1. The loading time depends on a few factors: When you open a project, Gradle will download every declared dependencies, their sources and javadoc. Also, if you have not configured where Gradle is, then it will also download Gradle itself. These can take quite a lot of time. However, since artifacts are cached, this should become less problem after using Gradle for a while.


    When you first load a project in NetBeans a Gradle daemon is started to execute the build scripts. Gradle daemon remains after the project is loaded (for about 3 hours), so subsequent project loads will not suffer this penalty. Also there is a lot of thing Gradle caches, so subsequent project loads should be considerably faster.


    Projects with lots of subprojects will also take more time to load (loading a project with above 100 subprojects can take minutes to load).



  2. Most information is not accessible to me. So I cannot display the Maven groupid or similar thinds. Even what I can (e.g.: source folders) would be read-only because the build scipt is a code and it is not possible to analyze it in general.


  3. I don't know what you mean on "ability to edit/remove needs to be exposed", they can be edited and removed.


  4. Also in the current (unreleased) version in the master branch allows you to fully customize the built-in tasks (build, run, etc.).

Great Plugin

Hey this plugin is great, although I do have a few small issues.

I have a single project, but I notice that it takes netbeans a while to full finish loading it up when I open netbeans, where as other projects appear nearly instantaneously.

An improved Project properties dialog is needed, with both core/existing netbeans java project properties pages kept, like general project information, declaring the actual paths of the Src and Test folders and even improving what actions are assigned to which gradle tasks. - Much like a maven project properties dialog shows.

Custom tasks are a god send, but we need more control on them, the ability to edit/remove needs to be exposed, probably through an enhanced project properties dialog...

Other than those issues that I have, I think this plugin is great.

Re: Re: Unfortunatelly it doesn't work for me

Sorry for all the fuss, turns out Bug 218373 is to blame. An attempt to install any other plugin or to update caused the installation to break down.

Managed to solve the problem by installing the latest stable release (7.2.1).

Yet again sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for the prompt answer.

Re: Unfortunatelly it doesn't work for me

I have seen this issue but I don't think it has anything to do with this plugin. That is, the plugin does not really do anything until you try to open a Gradle project.

I think it has to do something with NetBeans when installing updates through the update center and also installing a plugin. It might be due to a buggy dependency resolution.

What I would do is first update NetBeans, then install the plugin (and don't install the plugin with updates from the update center). If you have stack traces, etc., it might be worth to report to the NetBeans dev. team.

EDIT: I believe this is the same problem: http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=178087 but reported to an earlier release. Since this occured to you while updating other components and added this plugin, I believe that it can be triggered by installing a new downloaded plugin along with updates from the update center.

If you install this plugin after every update, there should be no errors (I'm using it with the latest updates).

Unfortunatelly it doesn't work for me

Not only it doesn't work for me, my NetBeans simply won't even start after the plugin installation.

Symptoms:
1) First during the installation it asks to install a bunch of other required plugins and then to restart the IDE.
2) During the restart NetBeans tells me that it can't enable a lot of plugins (77 total) because of unmet dependencies. And click on Disable plugins doesn't help at all - NetBeans would simply hang up on the loading splash screen and do nothing.
Funny thing here is that mostly actual versions of plugins installed are higher then required by that bunch of new plugins, so why won't it work?

After that I had to completely re-install NetBeans to be able event to start it.


Any ideas what I may be doing wrong?
