Description Lucasg123 2017-10-26 11:34:15 UTC 
Product Version = NetBeans IDE 8.2 (Build 201609300101)
Operating System = Windows 10 version 10.0 running on amd64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.8.0_151
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.151-b12

Reproducibility: Happens every time

STEPS:
*New Project
*Next (Java-JavaApplication (also everything else))
*Finish

ACTUAL:
  nothing happens

EXPECTED:
  Error:Project Folder already exists and is not empty.


I made sure that this folder do not allready exists(name). Also used very random names. Still the same problem. If I click finish, Netbeans creates a folder on my computer, but it it is empty (no jar etc.). The folder is also not displayed in NetBeans.

 I can import projects from Eclipse without problems.
Tried following things: reinstallation, delete appdata files, different folder to save in, different names

You obviously have problems with access right in the target folder. Can you please try to select C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\8.2 as "Project Location" on the 2nd step of New Java Application wizard and report here what happens? Thanks.
Comment 3 Lucasg123 2017-10-27 09:05:25 UTC 
If I use the path given from you as Project location it works fine. Shall I always save my projects there now or is there a way to fix the problem so that I can save my projects wherever I want to save them.
Comment 4 Jiri Kovalsky 2017-10-27 09:46:16 UTC 
I would suggest to create a new directory called C:\Users\User\NetBeansProjects and use that for your NetBeans projects going forward. Your Eclipse IDE locks its workspaceeclipse directory for writing so you need to store your NetBeans projects elsewhere or convince Eclipse not to lock that directory somehow or convince yourself that you actually no longer need Eclipse now that you discovered NetBeans! :)
Comment 5 Lucasg123 2017-10-28 11:26:37 UTC 
Works fine now. Thank you very much. :)
I just wanted to finish a project in Eclipse. From now on I will use NetBeans for the university.

Very smart decision. ;) Status is also in the perfect condition. :)
