Description blackwindds 2004-10-08 18:40:40 UTC 
There was existing code base, and I wanted to use 
NetBeans 4.0 test whether I could integrate it 
with the existing code.  

After creating a new project for netbeans (with 
project directory and source directory in 
completely different folders but within the same 
drive), I assigned library and compiler which are 
yet in completely different directories but the 
same drive.  Then, I clicked "apply" button to 
get the error dialog box.

Comment 4 Martin Matula 2004-10-14 09:44:56 UTC 
You are right. This problem seems to be caused by a bug in MDR caches
we had in beta 2. This bug resulted in a severe metadata repository
corruption. To recover, one needs to shutdown netbeans and delete
var/cache/mdrstorage directory from NB user directory. This bug was
fixed several weeks ago, so this should no longer happen in daily builds.
