Better Gradle Project Creation Wizard

[lkishalmi]

Well, This one was in my plans for months. I put together some better alternative of the Gradle project creation wizard.

When we switched using gradle init created project many of the previous dialog entries got defunct (like group, description and version inputs), other features never got exposed, like selecting a text framework.

I hope this one could go in NB22, though the API changes has to be yet documented.

I like it - please wait with merge till master is stable

thoughts I had while testing:

It wasn't obvious to me that gradle would download a cached JDK (temurin) if I select something which isn't known to NB. It makes sense but the project opening took a bit. A note on the wizard panel might help. The note could also mention that the user could alternatively use the java platform manager of NB.

Should .gradle files activate the groovy cluster for syntax coloring?

found a problem: the Browse... button doesn't do anything

I've totally forgotten to implement that.

The syntax coloring became kind of "optional" many releases ago. If Groovy modules are enabled, then it is "on" otherwise not. Keeping the extide and groovy clusters loosely coupled.

I don't understand. Why can't .gradle be an extension which enables the groovy features? Its just a groovy file, no?

Maybe someone knows what to add here:

netbeans/ergonomics/ide.ergonomics/groovy.properties

Line 19 in ecc3f23

project.xpath.nbproject/project.xml=project/configuration/buildExtensions/extension[@id='groovy']

[mbien]

not sure but if it does what I think it does then this might be worth a try

netbeans/ergonomics/ide.ergonomics/javafx.properties

Line 19 in ecc3f23

project.xpath.nbproject/project.xml=project/configuration/buildExtensions/extension[@id='jfx' or @id='jfx2' or @id='jfx3']

Checked. I think that one is matching Ant based build extensions like this:

netbeans/groovy/groovy.samples/sample_src/GroovyJavaDemo/nbproject/project.xml

Line 26 in e7545a9

<extension file="groovy-build.xml" id="groovy">

we might have to revert this:
