[ BUILD # : Beta 2 ] [ JDK VERSION : 1.5.0_05 ] I cannot create a project with Beta 2 and get the name to be other than ???. I've installed Beta 2 fresh (and a new user dir). And the name never gets realized. I investigated the project xml and the name isn't there either.
Could you please attach the content of generated nbproject directory and your messages.log? Thanks.
It will take a while... I've uninstalled it and reverted back to the 31 )ct dev build. I have to build some projects;) Surely, you guys have a "crash and burn" box. OW, it will be this afternoon. (EST)
I've gone back frome Beta2-> 200511171900-> 200511171900 and the problem exists. I'm attaching the files as zip.

Seems like duplicate of issue #69001/#66563. Could you please check if you have xalan in jre/lib/endorsed or jre/lib/ext (or somewhere else on the bootclasspath)? If yes, please remove it, see issue #66563 for more information. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 69001 ***
This is curious... I just bumped up to 1.6 and it remembered, but also I didn't have to type in the project path. I wonder if there's a problem with the text input for the project path/project name. I don't think changing the JDK could the problem, but you never know. -B
BTW... I use nothing but the JDK defaults (except install location) and NB defaults. I never fiddle with the ext dir nor the bootclass path. This is not a project based on an existing build script, but one based on existing sources.
Sorry, but I do not understand your comment: do you mean that if you use JDK1.6, the project is created correctly (no "???")? This is possible, the problem described in issue #66563 is JDK1.5 specific.
Could you please attach your messages.log? Thanks.
I started trying different combinations.... That is from Beta2 I went back to the Nov 17th dev build and then the Oct 31st qbuild, (where Stroud reported that it should work in NetCat) and still got the "???". So then I changed the JDK from 1.5.0_05 to 1.6 ea b55. When I created the project this time, tho, I didn't have to modify the project path, only the new project name. So here 2 varibles were introduced: 1) a new JDK 2) no information added on the project path Then finally to answer your question. I don't add anything to the extensions directory nor change the boot classpath. Everthing is run "out of the box" except the install locations of the JDK. JDK 1.4xxx always goes to c:\java\jdk1.4, JDK 1.5xxx always goes to c:\java\jdk1.5 and so on.
OK... xalan was under my jre/lib directory. Do I need a "clean" install of jdk 1.5? Is it some artifact of dev releases before 1.5 was public?
I'll re-install beta2 now that xalan is gone and I'll update the defect with the results.
