Profiling Gradle Projects

Question

How can I profile Gradle projects in Netbeans? I've looked in a few places, but they turned up dead ends. The profile button is also disabled in the Netbeans editor when using a Gradle project.

Start your application and use profiler's ability to attach to running JVM - Profiler | Attach Profiler in main menu.

In the past it was necessary to add some flags to your application to load special hooks used by profiler but it seems that this is no longer needed according to pages like http://wiki.netbeans.org/DynamicAttachDemo
