Description

I have an existing Gradle project that builds fine from the command line, but causes a NPE related to the project name when I try to load it into NetBeans:

java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "String.equals(Object)" because the return value of "org.netbeans.api.project.ProjectInformation.getDisplayName()" is null

There are spaces in the path to the project but not the project folder itself.
