To make it easier for you to access your static assets in NetBeans we will add the `static` folder (which is where will will put the static assets) to the Gradle project as a resource folder.

Add the following section to the bottom of the `build.gradle` file:

```gradle
sourceSets {
   'static' {
      resources {
         srcDirs = ['static']
      }
      java {
         srcDirs = []
      }
   }
}
```
