Description

We have a project that uses Maven (via a pom.xml) to build a NetBeans plugin and Gradle to perform some setup tasks like copying settings around (via a build.gradle).

Using Open Project it is now apparently random whether the project gets recognized as Maven project or Gradle project, as both "marker files" exist. But in order to build the project, you will need to import it as Maven project, so that the netbeans-maven-plugin gets detected; the build.gradle is just there for some setup tasks that need to be executed once after checkout.

AFAICT, NetBeans does not offer a way to override the auto-detected project type yet, but should (at least if more than ProjectFactory claims that it recognizes the FileObject), but it would be nice if it did. (The workaround of just uninstalling the Gradle plugin is not always an option.)
