Last time I have tried, the NB plugin worked fine (though you will need Gradle 1.9 or later) as far as I could determine it. The only thing needed to be changed is to have a build.gradle for each project because NB needs a way to quickly determine if a folder is a project folder or not. I will try to do something about it but it will never be as convenient as if the subprojects had a build.gradle of their own.
