Description sunbiz 2008-07-17 00:57:55 UTC
[ BUILD # : 200807101204 ]
[ JDK VERSION : other ]

Whenever an open project is deleted from disk manually, and the 
netbeans window is focused again, the netbeans window hangs forever.

Netbeans remains unusable and killing the java.exe process is the way

to close netbeans.

Steps to reproduce the bug:
1.) create a new project -> Web -> Web Application
2.) Select Visual Web JavaServer Faces as Framework and Finish
3.) Start Windows Explorer and goto your newly created project
folder
4.) Delete the project folder
5.) Netbeans hangs and becomes unusable

Sometimes, there may be a message box showing the following message:

Cannot Find Web Pages folder "C:\Users\...\web". Open the project 
properties and in the Sources category browse the correct Web pages 
folder.

please provide a thread dump at the time of the freeze. 


In any case you are supposed to remove the project from the IDE primarily. That way clean up can be ensured more
consistently.
