Description dkkopp 2004-09-16 15:21:36 UTC 
Running NetBeans 4.0 beta 1 on OS X 10.3.5 with 
Java 142 Update 2 FC (Also duplicated with latest 
Q build)

I installed NetBeans and created a simple "Hello 
World" type project using the Java Application 
project template. It built and ran.

I then closed the project and restarted NetBeans. 
When I try to open the project, the project 
dialog shows the project directory with its 
little graphical indicator. When I click on the 
directory, the project name is placed into the 
project text field. However, when I click on the 
Open button, the project is not opened. Instead, 
the dialog box descends into the project's 
directory.

I noticed that when the dialog box came up, the 
file type combo box was blank. I have tried 
setting it to the Project type, but that doesn't 
do anything.

Tim (or anyone else running Mac OS X), can you reproduce? I remember
there being problems with the project chooser on Macs, but I thought
this was fixed long ago.

Notice that there are three buttons "Open" -> decents down into the
directory, "Close" -> not interesting and "Open Project Folder" ->
really opens the project. The trouble is that the "Open" is the
default button (binking), which means thet the correct button is hard
to find. We've already filled a bug against the Apple JDK. Sorry for
the inconveninece but we'll probably have to live with that for 4.0. 

The "Open Project Folder" button works for me and really opens the
project.
