Description _ gtzabari 2007-06-25 20:00:04 UTC 
It looks like the latest dev builds ship without web project support. When one goes to open an existing web project it
initially shows up with a NB project icon, but when the folder is selected the project icon goes away. Messages.log reads: 

WARNING [org.netbeans.api.project.ProjectManager]: Directory C:\Documents and Settings\Gili\My
Documents\blueeye\trunk\registry\Netbeans6.0 was initially claimed to be a project folder but really was not

I would expect Netbeans to prompt the user: "The project you have selected requires the web plugin, would you like to
install it now?"

Reassigning to "web" for evaluation...
Comment 2 Petr Pisl 2007-08-10 13:56:40 UTC 
This is a strange. The dev build contains web project support. It was there any other message? Like whether some modules
were disabled?
Comment 3 _ gtzabari 2007-08-10 17:55:04 UTC 
dev builds "basic" does not contain web support, and no I don't think anything was disabled.
Comment 4 Petr Pisl 2007-08-20 14:01:56 UTC 
You are right there is not web project support in the basic IDE distribution.
Comment 5 Martin Balin 2016-07-07 08:54:11 UTC 
This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
NetBeans IDE 8.2 Release Boss
