User-level description: it should be possbile to display significant folders in project with their role in project. E.g. /projectHome - 'other' sources /projectHome/src - Java sources root /projectHome/web - Document Base /projectHome/api - javadoc overviews ... This can be used in project wizard and in project customizer. There should also be add/remove button to add files/folders and categorize them by role and it should be possbile to change the role of an existing file/folder to a different role (the list of roles may be limited to roles that make sense for given file/folder) API -level: The list of existing folders and their roles should be based on /Containers. There needs to be representation of 'role' with a display name. For every entry in Containers list it needs to be possible to determine its role. The proposal is to use recognizers for representing the role. A recognizer needs to be able to recognize an entry in Containers list. It needs to be able to recognize a folder/file that can be supported by it and add a container for it.
As described in http://www.netbeans.org/servlets/ReadMsg?msgId=619519&listName=nbdiscuss the current work on projects prototype has been stopped.
