Description gekkothelizard 2008-09-01 15:27:39 UTC 
[ JDK VERSION : 1.6.0_07 ]

After importing some libraries into the project (by selecting a 
libraries folder), there is no way to delete them. I can only remove

the reference to them from the project, but they remain in the lib 
folder and a reference to them is maintained in 
nblibraries.properties. This can be annoying when someone is 
importing the lib directory into version control (and this is why the

this funcion exists in the first place - to share the libraries).

I'm proposing presenting presenting a user with the option to delete

the files when removing a library from the project.

Change of default owner.

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,
