In recent dev builds, pretty much every time I close a (Java-based) project, my log gets WARNING [org.netbeans.modules.parsing.impl.indexing.RepositoryUpdater]: Non-empty roots encountered while no projects are opened; loglevel increased and then fills up with hundreds of lines of what to me is irrelevant noise: FINE [org.netbeans.modules.parsing.impl.indexing.RepositoryUpdater]: Paths ID classpath/boot: [] FINE [org.netbeans.modules.parsing.impl.indexing.RepositoryUpdater]: Dumping: Binary Libraries ......

Introduced by 2f76718810bb. Seems after b70d83633857 you can at least use -J-DRepositoryUpdate.increasedLogLevel=INFO [sic].
I believe that the log is intentional and it caused by issue in projectui OpenProjects.openProjects which is not atomic.
And other reasons (unknown roots, etc.)
I'll disable the output before 7.2 is released (or at least lower the 'increased' priority, so you'd have to use the propery RepositoryUpdate.increasedLogLevel. The log was introduced because of defect #208277, scanning after projects are closed as an attempt to find cause for such unwanted scan of already closed roots.
This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue. Thanks for your cooperation, NetBeans IDE 8.2 Release Boss
