Description ecerichter 2012-11-07 10:51:31 UTC 
Product Version = NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201211060001)
Operating System = Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_09
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 23.5-b02

I tried to import a Eclipse project today, and got the message "directory is invalid" - perhaps, it is not: I do effectively use NetBeans and Eclipse on daily basis.
Must be something incorrectly read from the workspace.
I can help to identify the issue, but cannot give access to my workspace.

See attached screenshot and log for reference.

Thanks,

Edson

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,
