[ JDK VERSION : 1.7.7 ] As you can see on the screendump the IDE signals an error on line 130. There is however nothing wrong with that line, the error indicated is "Inconvertible types".

I think I can shed some extra light on this. The class WindowsRegistryError extends WindowsRegistryHandle, both are defined in an external project (WinReg) that is included in this project (Service). However WindowsRegistryHandle extends IntByReference a class that is defined in jna.jar that is included into the WinReg project. The Service project does not use JNA so it is not included into that. Just to check I added jna.jar into Service and the error marking dissapeared. So the error seems to be that if the class extends a class that is not include into the same project Netbeans thinks it is an error but according to the compiler itself it is not, or something similar...
Report from old NetBeans version. Due to code changes since it was reported likely not reproducible now. Feel free to reopen if happens in 8.0.2 or 8.1.
