This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
If I check out a NetBeans project (Foo) from a subversion repository via Team -> Subversion -> Checkout... and have the "Scan for NetBeans Projects after Checkout" option checked in the wizard, the IDE asks me: Foo project was checked out. Do you want to open the project? Clicking "Open Project" successfully opens the project. If I now close the project (without closing the IDE), delete the local project folder manually, and perform the above steps again, the IDE asks me: Do you want to create an IDE project from the checked-out sources? This is kind of confusing, because it already is a NetBeans project. (Clicking "Close" instead of "Create Project..." and then choosing File -> Open Project..., opens the project successfully.)
