Description davidkayak 2006-08-24 19:02:42 UTC

I was editing the private.properties file in the nbproject/private directory
under my project.  I deleted 3 reference entries and saved the file. Two of the
entries did not show up in my libraries listing and no reslove issue was noted
on the project. The third existed but I wanted to clean it up and try again to
add the library.

Okay, reassigning to web component for further investigation. Thanks for your
bug report!

Comment 3 Jiri Kovalsky 2006-08-31 13:38:29 UTC

This belongs to project subcomponent.

Comment 4 Radko Najman 2006-09-11 20:20:01 UTC

Accepted, reproduced.

It is not a preferred way to directly edit project properties files. You should
use properties dialog or Remove action on nodes under Libraries node.
