I created a web application project "with existing sources". The original source did not have java code, so there wasn't a directory of junit tests. I extended to app, by creating a servlet and utility classes. I decided to create some unit tests for the utility classes. I used Tools->JUnit Tests->Create Tests to start to add some. The dialog opens with everything disabled, except for cancel and help. The dialog contains a message that describes "why" the dialog is disabled. It would probably be better to give the user a chance to fix the problem... Open a dialog that lets the user create a directory for their tests.
Confirmed, accepted.
See also bug #56661 ('Missing help at "critical moment"').
Since the issue 56661 has been fixed (new dialog with information what is actually the problem should appear now), I guess it solves this issue as well...
This should be finally solved in NB 7.0. Once the necessary API is designed (issue #135145), the fix of this issue should be simple.
