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 you open (or otherwise select) a misconfigured project, "Reloading online: ..." appears with a cancel button. But canceling it does not generally work. Need to check what the IDE is waiting on.
Online reload was removed as part of bug #172502.
