gradle project type related?

> gradle project type related?

Yes. Should now be fixed in master. This is most likely caused by deleting the last used "Project Location" folder. For now, the workaround is to adjust "~/NetBeans/7.4/config/Preferences/org/netbeans/gradle/gradle.properties": Remove the "default-project-dir" line.
