Description

Projects configured to use Gradle 7.0-rc-1 cause NetBeans 12.3 to complain when being opened.
The error reported is:
"Could not get unknown property 'compileConfigurationName' for source set 'main' of type org.gradle.api.internal.tasks.DefaultSourceSet."

To reproduce:

• ensure NetBeans Gradle settings will use the gradle wrapper if present
• create a new Java Library project from the command line with 'gradle init'
• run: gradle wrapper --gradle-version=7.0-rc-1
• attempt to open the project in NetBeans
• allow NB to run the initial configuration build
