Description Alexander Simon 2016-01-15 08:50:16 UTC 
Step to reproduce:
- open project with existing sources.
- open nbproject/configurations.xml in editor.
- make some modification in configurations.xml and save file.
IDE ask (or not ask - it depends on current state of internal metadata representation) to reload metadata. Confirm reload.
Observed misbehavior:
- Code model has two native file item for each C/C++/Header file in the project. It can led to wrong code model.
- Select file in project view is not working.
Comment 1 Alexander Simon 2016-01-15 08:53:00 UTC 
Proposed partial fix for two native file items:

# This patch file was generated by NetBeans IDE
# It uses platform neutral UTF-8 encoding and \n newlines.

Log: fixed #257576 - Externally modified project metadata breaks IDE behavior in several ways
- this is safe fix to solve mentioned issue. But some problems remains, i.e. root folder sometimes doesn't update it's children on reload
