I am using 5/3 NB Beta build with JDK 5.0, Appserver SDK build4 on Win XP, with a archive project bit from developer on 5/2. Suggestion to add Run Project and Debug Project on archived project. These two functions are available on a newly created project, but not on a archived project. Why ? Step to recreate: (1) New Project -> Enterprise -> Packaged Archive (2) Create a archive project (3) Right click on the created archive project node, there is not Run Project and Debug Project function. I feel they they would be useful to have, so user can directly run a project.
Not for debug, as there is no src for binary archive.
I raise this to P2, since to get the feature implemented earlier can help my testing greatly.
archive projects have little traction with users
This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue. Thanks for your cooperation, NetBeans IDE 8.2 Release Boss
