Description netbeansuzr 2015-04-25 02:02:08 UTC 
Very simple to duplicate issue.

-create a java project
-add a source package folder to the project after it has been created by right clicking on the project and going to properties
-click ok
-you will see about 4-5 netbeans project settings files are modified
-go back in to properties and remove the directory just added
-you will see that there are still 2 files left modidifed, project.properties and genfiles.properties (this one has the CRC32 modified and is likely not the source of the issue).  The problem is that the project.properties is still left modified and it still contains the file.reference that was added in the above steps.

This leads to confusing project files when viewed directly or in diffs in the repository and leads to file bloat.
