Everytime I open am existing (maven-)project this message occures. It sometimes happen when I open netbeans (6.8rc1 & 6.8rc2) and some projects exist in netbeans. This issue happens after releasing 6.8rc1 before (in the dev's of the last two weeks) it doesn't.
Reassigning.
I've found a point to mention: The folder E:\Users\me\.netbeans is owned by Administrator. But even being in the administrative group didn't allows to write in this folder. If I take the ownership of this folder and the objects below (crazy wording), I get the permission to write in this folder. It's the same workaround for some issues with plugins not installing correctly on win 7.
this looks like a user setup error. You need to have write access to your ~/.netbeans directory. Since the directory is placed within your user directory, the assumption is that you can write to your own user directory. That's a basic assumption shared by many programs. closing as wontfix, please reopen if I miunderstood the problem.
