   My personal worst-case is developing for liferay-portal. It uses a custom patched gradle version and requires JDK 8 to build. This seems to improve the situation a lot! This is not yet a comprehensive test, but this is what I did:
   
   I build NetBeans from this branch. Additionally I had to adjust the gradle deamon settings like this (`~/.gradle/gradle.properties`):
   
   ```properties
   org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xms512m -Xmx4g
   liferay.home=/home/matthias/src/liferay-portal/bundles/
   ```
   
   The first option give the gradle daemon enough space to handle the projects and the second is needed as the liferay build system sets this property from the ant invocation that starts the build. I have to restructure the build minimally, so that the grade wrapper is found. I build liferay once using `ant all`, then I copy the `gradle` directory from the main directory to `modules`. In the ` modules/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties`  I change the `distributionUrl` to `distributionUrl=../../../tools/gradle-6.9.2-LIFERAY-PATCHED1-bin.zip`. Finally the patched gradle needs to be renamed to fit the gradle versioning scheme from ` gradle-6.9.2.LIFERAY-PATCHED-1-bin.zip` to `gradle-6.9.2-LIFERAY-PATCHED1-bin.zip` .
   
   Project loading takes time, but it feels nice to be able to open the projects in a sane manner. Thank you!
