Hi Laszlo, I always use the same project type (Java with existing source), so Netbeans lets me specify the directories containing the source. In this case, this was a brand new git repository - i.e. a completely empty one. All I had added to this new repository is a ’src’ directory. So, no, there was no build script or anything else yet.
When you suggest I create a folder in my $HOME/ and create a project in it, I assume you mean I should create a “Java with existing source” project there? I just tried that - and still get the same error dialog.
