如何在Netbeans中启用gradle守护程序？

Question

While it's possible to run gradle from the CLI:

thufir@mordor:~/NetBeansProjects/gradle$ 
thufir@mordor:~/NetBeansProjects/gradle$ clear;gradle clean build;java -jar build/libs/gradle.jar 

:clean
:compileJava
:processResources UP-TO-DATE
:classes
:jar
:assemble
:compileTestJava UP-TO-DATE
:processTestResources UP-TO-DATE
:testClasses UP-TO-DATE
:test UP-TO-DATE
:check UP-TO-DATE
:build

BUILD SUCCESSFUL

Total time: 3.674 secs

This build could be faster, please consider using the Gradle Daemon: http://gradle.org/docs/2.5/userguide/gradle_daemon.html
hello world
thufir@mordor:~/NetBeansProjects/gradle$ 

How do specify to use the daemon?

build file:

apply plugin: 'java'

sourceCompatibility = '1.8'
[compileJava, compileTestJava]*.options*.encoding = 'UTF-8'

// NetBeans will automatically add "run" and "debug" tasks relying on the
// "mainClass" property. You may however define the property prior executing
// tasks by passing a "-PmainClass=<QUALIFIED_CLASS_NAME>" argument.
//
// Note however, that you may define your own "run" and "debug" task if you
// prefer. In this case NetBeans will not add these tasks but you may rely on
// your own implementation.
if (!hasProperty('mainClass')) {
    ext.mainClass = ''
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    // You may define additional repositories, or even remove "mavenCentral()".
    // Read more about repositories here:
    //   http://www.gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/dependency_management.html#sec:repositories
}

dependencies {
    // TODO: Add dependencies here ...
    // You can read more about how to add dependency here:
    //   http://www.gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/dependency_management.html#sec:how_to_declare_your_dependencies
    testCompile group: 'junit', name: 'junit', version: '4.10'
}


jar  {
    manifest {
        attributes 'Main-Class': 'net.bounceme.mordor.gradle.HelloWorld'
    }
}

Netbeans doesn't create a gradle.properties file. I added such a file:

thufir@mordor:~/NetBeansProjects/gradle$ cat gradle.properties 
org.gradle.daemon=true
thufir@mordor:~/NetBeansProjects/gradle$ 

So that the daemon is enabled. Is this the correct Netbeans way? Or, will this cause problems down the road? Seems odd that the plugin didn't include this setting.

Netbeans, just like other IDEs, uses the Gradle Tooling API to execute builds internally. It just so happens that the Tooling API always uses the Gradle Daemon , so no configuration is needed for Netbeans itself.
