Description tbrunhoff 2011-01-21 19:19:37 UTC 
After creating a new project, I noticed that the set of generated files is different than it used to be. This includes files no longer generated:
 - {project}/nbproject/Makefile-{configuration}.mk
 - {project}/nbproject/Makefile-impl.mk
 - {project}/nbproject/Makefile-variables.mk
 - {project}/{project}-Makefile.mk

Since it is reasonable to (a) create a project and then (b) track them with SVN, there ought to be a way for netbeans to help you identify files in the project directory that are no longer needed by netbeans.
Comment 1 tbrunhoff 2011-01-21 19:35:49 UTC 
Forgot to say: this is a change from 6.X to 7.0, I think. It may also be related to the cause of Bug 194596.
Comment 2 Thomas Preisler 2011-01-21 19:40:15 UTC 
yes, they are related. We changed how unmanaged projects are being built in 7.0. We now execute the build command directly and not indirectly through generated makefiles making the generated makefiles obsolete. It solves several issues but apparently has some drawbacks too. We are still discussing what to do.
Comment 3 tbrunhoff 2011-01-21 20:47:04 UTC 
Wait... I just noticed that netbeans removed the generated Makefiles when I made a change to the project. That would mean that this is a non-bug, as described above. Please confirm.
Comment 4 Thomas Preisler 2011-01-21 23:32:12 UTC 
Confirmed. Now obsolete makefiles are removed after a change to the project. Will close as Invalid.
