Product Version = NetBeans IDE 8.0.2 (Build 201411181905)

Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.31-b07

I am a teacher at Regis University.  I am using Netbeans for my Java class, and have the students export their project.  For some reason this week, all of the projects are showing errors where NetBeans thinks there are duplicate classes.    I have had this happen with several students submittals, but earlier project files were fine.  I have restarted, reloaded, cleaned and built, removed all other projects, etc., and cannot get the project to load without error.  I do not know how to forward some of the import files that are not working (as well as some that did).

Hello Mike, I'm not able to reproduce your issue. Do you have any special configuration? Can you try to run NetBeans with clean userdir
http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqAlternateUserdir
and try to import the projects in that instance?

any update on this?

Sorry, I did not see your comment of 7/28.

I had to backup all of my projects to another folder.  I deleted the folder I have been using for years.  Created a new folder with a different name (updated properties file), copied projects back, and all was working again.

The import files that did not work with my original folder are able to be used successfully with the new folder,

In the old folder, with no other projects, when I imported, I was getting errors stating the class already existed - like there was a class file hanging out somewhere.  I tried clean, builds, etc - always had the same error.

Since I am working again with the new folder, feel free to close, but would be interested in knowing if there was a reason I saw this issue, and how to prevent it.
