Hello all
When creating a new project in NetBeans 18, one of the offered options
is "Java with Ant > Java Modular Project". This is, to my knowledge,
the only form of all NetBeans projects to offer Java Module Source
Hierarchy support. The Module Source Hierarchy is a new way to
organize source code introduced in Java 9 (the old way is called
"Package Hierarchy") [1]. Not many developers are aware of this
layout, maybe because neither Maven or Gradle support it yet. However
the fact that NetBeans Ant supports this layout very well proves that
it is possible in NetBeans.
I tried to explain what is Module Source Hierarchy, together with its
implication for a Gradle project, in [2]. The Gradle team is
considering to provide some support [3]. In the meantime, Gradle's
flexibility makes possible to use Module Source Hierarchy anyway, but
the result in NetBeans is currently not good (by comparison, it is
okay in IntelliJ). I would like to improve that with patch
contributions, but I have no knowledge of NetBeans internal. Can
someone point me to which classes I need to look at please?

Probably that's where to look first.
The first step would be to have NetBeans to properly shows JPMS module
names. Currently it only shows "Source/Test Packages" with directory
names for all modules (screenshot at [4]). What would be the classes
to edit for controlling the tree shown in the "Project" tab for a
Gradle project?
Thanks,
Martin
