I just realized i hit ‘r’eply on a couple messages rather than ‘Reply to all :-( Just to summarize: I removed the ~/Library/Caches/NetBeans/* and ~/Library/Application Support/NetBeans/** directories - and still get the problem of NB not accepting my package because it’s supposedly also used in a project named ’twolf’- which is also my userid.
I’m not familiar with how Netbeans does logging. I looked at the FileOwnerQuery.java file and see that it does do some logging at the “FINE” level. Could someone tell me how I would turn that on? Perhaps in the netbeans.conf file as a parameter? This way maybe I’ll get a clue as to where Netbeans thinks the project is that supposedly owns the package directory i’m trying to specify. Again, any help much appreciated. tom p.s. if I create a ~/junk/satriage/src/ directory and specify that as my source root, Netbeans accepts it - so it’s definitely something about the ~/spectare/git/satriage/src/ directory location :-( I vaguely remember creating such a directory a year or two ago - and possibly having created a NB project that referred to it. But that project no longer exists on my machine as far as I can tell (I did searches on ’twolf’, ’nbbuild.xml, etc. to no avail).
