Re: Gradle based project won't load. How to investigate it or see compiler output?

[Emilian Bold <em...@gmail.com>]

This was using Gradle 6 and it seems after doing some more builds and then
configuring Gradle in the options NetBeans is able to load the project...

Odd thing is the IDE did detect the Gradle binary correctly so maybe the
repeat build finally produced something on disk?

It's a big project so I don't know / have time to produce a small sample
that reproduces the problem. I think this would be much easier to track
down if the compiler output would be saved somewhere by the Gradle project
support. It was failing in there for some reason but can't know what it
was. Maybe some -D property to dump this in an output window or in the log?
