I've certainly encountered something similar before, which seemed to be
related to trying to create a project with the same name as one NB
previously knew about. While I don't know about NB internals, from
memory I tracked it down to being related to NB's caching of "Open
Recent Project" info. If you can find a way to nuke that info
(unfortunately I can't remember how I did it) it may help. Possibly it's
related to the info in /projectui.properties/ (on macOS:
/~/Library/Application
Support/NetBeans/12.4/config/Preferences/org/netbeans/modules/projectui.properties/;
elsewhere on other platforms).

Hi Laszlo,
I checked my $HOME directory and I don’t have nbproject/, build.xml,
pom.xml, build.gradle, or settings.gradle there. Any other files I
could look for?
Where does FileOwnerQuery get ’twolf’ from? Where is this information
stored? Does NB go through my entire filesystem looking for files
like the above to find existing projects?
Any further help is appreciated,
Tom

It seems you have already something in your (most probably home
folder) what NetBeans detects as a project.
We have a thing called FileOwnerQuery which shall able to say that a
folder belongs to what project. In this case we call it on
/Users/twols/spectare/satriage/src and we are expecting a null (not
owned by any project), instead that query says that this folder
belongs to a project called twolf
So I'd look for project files like nbproject/ folder, build.xml,
pom.xml, build.gradle and settings.gradle files in your home folder.

Hi everyone,
I’m at a loss here. I hope you guys can help:
I created a completely new GIT repository on my mac at:
/Users/twolf/spectare/git/satriage
and then created a src/ directory under it.
Next, I opened Netbeans and tried to create a project this way (have
done this dozens of times without trouble):
New Project… -> Java with Ant -> Java with Existing Source
I enter a project name ‘satriage’ and hit ‘Next’ where I’m asked to
enter a source package folder. I try to enter:
/Users/twolf/spectare/git/satriage/src/
but I get an error message about that package having been used in
another project??? (see attached error dialog)
Nonetheless, I did a ‘grep -r ‘satriage’ . in my NetBeansProjects/
directory to see if any project references this directory - but none
do. I also deleted $HOME/Library/Caches/NetBeans/12.4/ in case
thee’s some old, cached info that might be to blame - but no luck.
Still getting that error :-(
Then I deleted $HOME/Library/Application Support/NetBeans/12.4 -
still the same error :-(
Next, I renamed my $HOME/NetBeansProjects/ directory - again, same
error :-(
In my desperation, I installed Netbeans 12.5 from scratch and
without importing any settings from 12.4. But STILL the same error
:-( Neither NB 12.4 nor 12.5 had any projects open when I did this,
so how does NB decide that the package is in use in another project???
Again, in terms of env, I’m running NB 12.4 w. JDK 17 on macOS Monterey.
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Thanks a bunch,
tom
