Bug #51810 might help in this regard by making it easier for NB to ignore the Maven project, but in general it is by design that one and only one project may "own" a given source root. Changing this is not possible. I have again be annoyed by this. Could this restriction at least be changed to _open_ projects? So that not two open projects can share the same source directories? But any project that might reside on disk and is not currently open in NetBeans is ignored? I wanted to create a new project in NetBeans 7.0 beta in order to not mess with my existing project in NB 6.9.1. 7.0 simply refused to add the source directory because of the existing NB 6.9.1 project which is silly (In reply to comment #2) > I wanted to create a new project in NetBeans 7.0 beta in order to not mess with > my existing project in NB 6.9.1. Should be able to simply open the original project. Or use a separate VCS checkout. |
