Netbeans Plugin-Development and dependent Plugins

>> And for Maven, you have to depend on the .jar of the modul and I think it will work but you might check out the Gradle JavaEE support project at https://github.com/hildo/netbeans-gradle-javaee-project. That said, someone else is most likely capable of answering how the NB module system should work. 

Funny that you say Gradle javaEE plugin because that is exactly where i had the question. It gave me the exact problem that when i run the ide from the build the first time, the gradle and groovy plugins where not installed. then i installed them manually from the plugins menu and restarted the ide without clean build and it work.

So, i have have to check again if you say it should in general be working because i though i experienced the same problem also for your gradle plugin that the groovy stuff was missing.

Let me check again and provide an update.
