When using an intel Mac (possibly other platforms) and you go to create a new project, it will create the new project, but it won't open the project by default to start working on it. In other words, it creates the project folder and everything in it that you specify, but the project won't be open to work on it.
beauredwolf, What type of project have you been openening? WHat exactly means "won't open the project" ? Does it mean the project node isn't present in the Projects view? .. or just the Main class isn't opened in the editor ?
I am experiencing the same issue. If I create any new project, it will create the project folder and files, but it will not open it in the IDE. You must use OPEN PROJECT from the menu(s) to open the project. I am using a G5 on OS X 10.4.6. It apparently does not hurt anything, but is an annoyance.
There is an exception that occurs when this issue appears. Note that though this exception usaually appears, it does not always. But, if the exception does appear, then the project does not appear in the project explorer and the user has to Open the newly created project. If the exception does not throw, then the project opens in the project explorer as expected. (The exception is pasted below) Also note that I can NOT reproduce this issue using the following configuration: Build = NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200606301330) OS = Mac OS X version 10.4.7 running on i386 Java = 1.6.0-dp VM = Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.6.0-b85-9-release Exception from 5.5Beta: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 1 at java.awt.Container.createHierarchyEvents(Container.java:1353) at java.awt.Container.createHierarchyEvents(Container.java:1353) at java.awt.Container.createHierarchyEvents(Container.java:1353) at java.awt.Container.createHierarchyEvents(Container.java:1353) at java.awt.Container.createHierarchyEvents(Container.java:1353) at java.awt.Container.createHierarchyEvents(Container.java:1353) at java.awt.Container.createHierarchyEvents(Container.java:1353) at java.awt.Dialog.conditionalShow(Dialog.java:927) at java.awt.Dialog.show(Dialog.java:1028) at org.netbeans.core.windows.services.NbPresenter.superShow(NbPresenter.java:810) at org.netbeans.core.windows.services.NbPresenter.doShow(NbPresenter.java:853) at org.netbeans.core.windows.services.NbPresenter.run(NbPresenter.java:841) at org.openide.util.Mutex$1.run(Mutex.java:1188) [catch] at java.awt.event.InvocationEvent.dispatch(InvocationEvent.java:199) at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEvent(EventQueue.java:598) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpOneEventForFilters(EventDispatchThread.java:300) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForFilter(EventDispatchThread.java:210) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForHierarchy(EventDispatchThread.java:200) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(EventDispatchThread.java:195) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(EventDispatchThread.java:187) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(EventDispatchThread.java:121)
