Description rdelaplante 2009-10-26 20:29:36 UTC

I have a parent project with two sub-projects. I plan to release a new version, so I started by updating one of the
sub-project pom.xml files to specify the new version of the parent pom.xml.  I hadn't yet updated the parent pom.xml, so
when I saved it told me "Badly formed project".  Next I went to the parent pom.xml and updated its version.  After
pressing save the child project did not realize that it is now valid.  I had to make some kind of change to the child
pom.xml and press save for it to realize that it is now valid.

Maybe when you save changes to a pom.xml, NetBeans could look for any open projects that are sub-projects of this one
and notify them of the change so they can "refresh".  Maybe it would only notify sub-projects that are "badly formed".

Reassigning to default owner.

It would be nice generally if project reloading happened more automatically under a variety of circumstances.
