Description Labalius 2016-08-18 01:09:28 UTC 
I am working on a simple Maven project in NetBeans, using Subversion for SCM. Every so often I find that Netbeans has created an nbproject folder in the same folder as the pom.xml file. Inside nbproject is a project.properties file which is empty. The top-level folder for the project also has its svn:ignore property set to ignore nbproject.

My understanding is that nbproject and project.properties are part of the default NetBeans configuration if you do not use Maven or your own Ant build. I assume that its creation is a bug.

On the latest occasion, I had just created a JUnit test file when I noticed. It may be that on previous occasions I had just created a new file but I am not certain. The new JUnit file was not under SCM as NetBeans only invokes svn add at the point of commit.

Log file for my NetBeans installation, including the problem described

The same thing has happened again, when I created a JUnit test file "SniperSnapshotTest.java". I have attached the log file, which features this file name prominently, accompanied by Subversion error messages.

Note that I currently have another bug report open with regard to the Gnome keyring. Log messages pertaining to this problem appear in the log just before the entries concerning SniperSnapshotTest.java.

I suspect this has nothing to do with NetBeans support for Maven after all.
