How to get NetBeans to load a Gradle project instead of Maven pom?

Question

We have a project with build.gradle script and old maven pom.xml. Netbeans (8.0) will attempt to load the project as a maven project due to the existence of pom.xml. Is there a way to get it to load the project as a gradle project using build.gradle? Thank you

No, this is not possible with NetBeans. The easiest way is to remove / rename pom.xml. In this case, Maven support will ignore this folder and it will be recognized.
