No valid projects

Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201508250002)
Java: 1.8.0_60-ea; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.60-b23
Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.8.0_60-ea-b25
System: Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64; Cp1250; en_US (nb)

This is really strange.
I was using this build since today morning without any issues.
I restarted the IDE with clear userdir and wanted to open one of test projects. The IDE did not realize valid java projects - please see the picture.
The Project Name text field displays following string for each selected (and valid) java project - '<unrecognized project; missing plug-in?>'.

Moreover I am not able to create new java project too - I reported this - http://statistics.netbeans.org/analytics/exception.do?id=790844 that corresponds to issue 250040.

I did not find any workaround so I am going to reinstall the IDE right now.

Seems either as broken installation missing modules or the modules are not correctly enabled by ergonomics (in this case it should be enough to delete NB userdir).

According to the attached exception it seems the second case.

The java project cannot help much as it was not even activated. The <unrecognized project; missing plug-in?> means that there is no active module handling the given project type.

Setting as a duplicate of issue #250040 which is probably the root cause and increasing it to P2.

Thanks for the report.

Hi Tomas,

please kindly note the fact which may be important:

The IDE was working perfectly good since early morning for quite long time and has stopped after cleaning userdir and restart (which was also successfully performed at least two times before).
This is why I would also agree with the second option ('modules are not correctly enabled by ergonomics') and not with the first one ('broken installation missing modules').

Cheers,
Marek
