This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
A lot of time goes into setting up projects. Every time a new project which is similar to another project gets created some common libraries and projects have to get added. Please allow copying projects/libraries/jars dependencies between projects within the Projects tab.
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
