This issue can be marked as fixed, since I wrote a NetBeans plugin.

The plugin is available here: https://github.com/kelemen/netbeans-gradle-project or if you only care for the binary, here: http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/44510/gradle-support

I think that the equivalent Eclipse plugin for the Netbeans IDE is needed. I have tried your plugin but it does not work for our complex gradle files. My humble opinion is that it is safer to generate project files like the Eclipse plugin.
The best thing you can do is to write a Gradle plugin that resembles the Eclipse plugin for the Netbeans IDE.

What do you mean on "does not work"? Can you report an issue here: https://github.com/kelemen/netbeans-gradle-project/issues

If you mean the default ant project for NetBeans, then I highly doubt that it will ever be implemented. NetBeans doesn't really work this way.

I mean that gradle will create the project files and the user will import the porject into the IDE... just like the eclipse plugin

NetBeans doesn't have project files like Eclipse or Idea. It can open certain kind of projects. The Ant based one is called the default. You can call these project files but it is really an Ant project.

they create the nbproject folder and the build.xml file..

and there the store all the information regarding the project.....

That is the Ant project. I'm unsure that it is really easy to create one without relying on libraries added to the IDE. But I'm not sure, I don't really use it.

it will be nice if you can find a way to generate thowse files /folders

I don't know why do you want the Ant project and why do you think that a custom project type is bad. As I said NetBeans doesn't rely on project files internally, anything you can do with the Ant project can be implemented in custom project types. I understand that my plugin does not work for you but I can only help if you report your problem.

Welll.... I can not see the sources in our subrojects...... You will see the attachament (
NetbeansPlugin.jpg) for more info

The EMSYS_FINANCIALS is the master project and the CASH.DEF.ADF.LOV is one of my subprojects..... that I opened form the master :|... And the "dependencies" are also empty

Can you share related gradle files (you may censor irrelevant parts of it)? Also can we move this discussion to: https://github.com/kelemen/netbeans-gradle-project/issues

of course..... but these are a little bit more complicated.... I will try to attach them

The script.gradle is the first imported file in the build.gradle... the others imported files contains only dependencies. This is the most important

I have attached them....The script.gradle is the first imported file in the build.gradle. The others imported files contain only dependencies...

I have checked the scripts and they do not seem to contain complex code relevant to the plugin (i.e., the complex part seems to be irrelevant).

If I understand the script correctly, you are using the default directory layout for the source files. Can you elaborate on what the lines after "def mapLov=[:];" in script.gradle aim to do? Also can you attach the log file of NetBeans after trying to open the project (From the screenshot, I will assume you are using Win7), the log files should be here C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\<NETBEANS-VERSION>\var\log\message.log

The discussion have been moved to: https://github.com/kelemen/netbeans-gradle-project/issues/14

the "def mapLov=[:];" is some internal thing ... you can bypass it if you like
