Description matusdekanek 2009-04-15 13:39:10 UTC 
Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200904150201)
Java: 1.6.0_14-ea; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 14.0-b12
System: Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86; Cp1252; en_US (nb)

Try to create project in My Documents folder (winxp) - for some reason, new project dialog does not allow it, showing 
message 'location exists, but is not writeable' or 'project folder cannot be created', although there should be no 
problem like this (user has sufficient rights to do that).

Problem in JDK, File.canWrite() reports false on Windows system folders. An ugly workaround would be to actually try to
create and delete dummy file in specified location, but File.canWrite() is scattered through all types of projects. 

Will try to reopen JDK bug, if I ever get Bugster account...

claims this is only fixed in JDK 7.

I see, I didn't understand cryptic '7(b30)' tag, thanks.
