Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 081204) Java: 1.5.0_16; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.5.0_16-133 System: Mac OS X version 10.5.5 running on i386; MacRoman; en_US (nb) It is not possible to create HTML file (and probably other file types) in the j2se project which is regression. There is no straightforward way to create such a file since Other>HTML file item is not available in the New File dialog invoked by main menu File|New File... See the attached screenshot where the HTML template is missing.

I have another related usecase: I tried to open j2se project containing .html file inside a source package. Then I opened the .html file in the editor and I see no syntax coloring and other features of html editor - simply the html editing support is not activated.
If you are working with JavaSE project only, then you need to compare this to behaviour of JavaSE IDE. Can it create HTML files? But I agree that the behaviour is not really good and deserves a fix. Also see issue 154538 and issue 154539 which are similar, but less tragic, as JavaSE distribution definitely does not support there files.
I just want to confirm that in JavaSE distribution of IDE you can create as many .html files as you want. So that this behavior is required also in ergonomics IDE.
Fixed by making all file templates available. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 154539 ***
Marking as verified.
