In Product Version: NetBeans IDE 6.7.1 (Build 200907230101) Java: 1.6.0_16; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 14.2-b01 System: Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86; Cp1252; en_US (nb) When I add project.license=gplv3 in project.properties file, this property is ignored and the template keep on using the default license. All file exist and I even tryed with the standard apache license that comes with the NB 6.7. I hope this is usefull.
What type of project are you using? In a 6.8 dev build, I make a Java Class Library, open project.properties from the Files tab, add project.license=apache20 at the top, save, make a new Java Class, and it has the Apache 2.0 license at the top as expected. So please provide complete steps to reproduce from scratch.
Sorry, I thought it was a general problem. I'm currently working only in PHP projects. I tryed creating a new JS Project and there seem everything ok; project.license worked as expected. The problem seems to be for PHP projects only. I read some comments of people having the same problem in some articles about this feature.
reassigning to php support then
Fixed in 6.8. Thanks for reporting. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 167661 ***
