This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
In older version of Netbeans a user could select 'compile' from the context menu when selection a directory in the File Browser. It is possible to compile a package from the Project window, but only while in Package View mode, not Tree View mode. The context menu while clicking on a folder should include a "Compile Package" option (if it contains .java files?).
Reasssigning for evaluation.
