Here is the whole of buildSrc/build.gradle: repositories { mavenCentral() } dependencies { compile 'org.apache.velocity:velocity:1.7' } apply plugin: 'idea' I think I got a similar issue without the 'apply plugin'

Of course this works in gradle from the command line, or I wouldn't be reporting it to you. It just breaks in netbeans. Product Version: NetBeans IDE 7.4 (Build 201310111528)...

ok... even in buildSrc? I'll try it. I thought buildSrc was meant to be magical. Actually, I misreported the other bug, I do have another for you...

Possibly related, or new bug? This was the stack trace I _meant_ to put in the other ticket. org.gradle.tooling.BuildActionFailureException: The supplied build action failed with an exception. at org.gradle.tooling.internal.consumer.connection.ActionAwareConsumerConnection.run(ActionAwareConsumerConnection.java:42) at...

Applying the java plugin in buildSrc/build.gradle did NOT help.

Moving 'apply plugin: java' to the TOP of the build script solves the issue. Let me see if I can work out how I reproduced the other one now, as...

So, for the record, the project now loads happily. The only workaround I've had to do is apply java and gradle plugins to buildSrc/build.gradle, which was NOT required by gradle...

In my case, I always run even commandline gradle in offline mode, as I have three upstream repositories, and gradle seems to totally screw up requesting files it ALREADY HAS...

Actually, I'm just trying to avoid slow compiles, not slow startups. The compileJava downloads dependencies, and gradle is broken, and tries to download things it already has, and makes 1...

That's a good call, thank you. Also voted for the 'kill build' ticket at gradle.
