Description

In the description below, I'm using the JavaFX sample project for NetBeans defined in the Non-Modular Gradle directory of the openjfx/samples repository.

Set up the project as explained in the parent issue under the section Gradle Non-Modular. In particular, you'll need to install and use Gradle version 6.0, and you'll need to copy the JavaFX Javadoc and Sources archives in the Gradle cache so that their names include the platform qualifier.

After those changes, Gradle lists the following items in the Compile Classpath.

The source navigation works, and the Javadoc comments in the Sources are displayed correctly, but the Javadoc artifacts are not recognized. The button in the Javadoc Window to show the documentation in an external Web browser is disabled, and the Show Javadoc (Alt-F1) item in the context menu does nothing.
