Well, that project is quite something ;). I see maven, ant, gradle and bld configuration files and various scripts in the root folder. In situations with multiple project build configs you would have to pick one before opening it. By default it would open it as gradle project i believe. To change that you have to take a look at the gradle options (tools -> options -> java -> gradle -> maven) and check "prefer maven over gradle projects" and you could open it as maven project. Don't remove project configuration files while the project is already open - close it first. If the maven/gradle project config is valid (and it builds via CLI) but does not open with NB, please file a bug with reproducer. NB doesn't have any support for bld projects. best regards, michael > > It has been a long time since I tried to take a look at NetBeans. > > Thanks. > > Blake > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
