Trying to build a gradle project that uses the spotbugs plugin in Netbeans makes Netbeans fail the build with an empty message error and mark the project as unloadable and fallbacking to Java 5 (yikes!).
Netbeans 19 (but it also happened in older versions)
Java 21 (but I also tested with 20)
Gradle 8.4 (but I also tested with 8.3)
Spotbugs gradle plugin 6.0.0-beta4
Spotbugs 4.7.3
Since it runs perfectly when running Gradle on CMD and it only goes nuts in Netbeans, I really think that this bug is actually in Netbeans side (see https://github.com/apache/netbeans/issues/4779). However, it might be worth to give a look into the plugin side to check if there is something fishy or maybe providing a possible workaround.

I created a minimal Hello World with gradle and spotbugs to show the problem: https://github.com/victorwss/min-spotbugs-gradle
