Description David Konecny 2008-06-24 03:24:26 UTC 
Create web application without a Libraries Folder (or alternatively choose the Libraries Folder outside of project
folder or with different name than "lib") and add Visual JSF framework. After project creation switch to Files view and
notice that "lib" folder was created. Without Visual JSF framework enabled there is no lib folder created. This issue
also prevents proper project deletion - after project was deleted the lib folder remains as web project does not know
nothing about it (issue 135756).

Setting priority as P2 only because it can be confusing to user. Otherwise this issue is harmless.

This is a very old known issue and the 'lib' folder is created by comlib modules.
Comment 2 Jayashri Visvanathan 2008-07-01 01:47:35 UTC 
Po-Ting,
 We don't have anyone to look at complib issues, can you investigate what it would take to fix this ? If its simple
enough we can consider fixing, if not we'll have to  downgrade it because this issue doesn't have any major issues.
thanks
Comment 3 _ potingwu 2008-07-01 02:21:54 UTC 
Please search the old issues that we have long discuss about this problem and as I remember we decided we either leave
it as is or web project module (that issue is under web core) will handle this special case. Under visual web, there is
no fix possible unless web core handles this.
Comment 4 David Konecny 2008-07-01 02:35:41 UTC 
Could you tell me which issue numbers you are talking about? Or what is the problem in complib which should be worked
around? I haven't been involved in discussing this problem in the past. Thanks, -David.

Comment 8 _ potingwu 2008-07-23 00:44:46 UTC 
I think it's duplicate of issue#107029 instead of issue#107000.
Comment 9 David Konecny 2008-07-23 01:35:02 UTC 
Not really, issue#107029 is about deleting project and issue#107000 is about (re)creating lib folder for no reason.
Comment 10 _ potingwu 2008-07-23 01:51:47 UTC 
In issue#107000, the complib owner 'edwingo' had reached the final scheme that agreed by all participate engineers from
visual web and NetBeans web core team. I.e., when to create the 'lib' folder.

The only problem we had is when deleting the project, hence we created another issue#107029.

Since 'edwingo' is no longer working for visual web and the long term solution is in issue#107029. I will need to move
the direction to how we handle the project deleting.
