Honestly it'd be better to invest the efforts in a proper build tool like Gradle/Maven for the job, and just pick one.

Greetings,

NetBeans starts up just fine but when I try to open a project it hangs.  The bottom of the screen 
says "Opening Project."  When I expand it it says "Activating HTML5."  At that 
point it just hangs.  In fact, if I go to File / Exit it doesn't exit.  I have to kill the process.

The particulars:

NetBeans 27
Fedora Linux 42 / X11
Java 21.0.8
Good Internet connection
Plenty of RAM and disk space

The project I am trying to open is at Kiss 
<https://github.com/blakemcbride/Kiss>
Before I try to open it I build it (so the jars are downloaded).  (./bld build)
I also remove pom.xml and build.gradle since it is not a Maven or Gradle system.
Well, that project is quite something ;). I see maven, ant, gradle and bld 
configuration
files and various scripts in the root folder.

In situations with multiple project build configs you would have to pick one 
before
opening it.  By default it would open it as gradle project i believe. To change 
that you have
to take a look at the gradle options (tools -> options -> java -> gradle -> 
maven)
and check "prefer maven over gradle projects" and you could open it as maven 
project.

Don't remove project configuration files while the project is already open - 
close it first.

If the maven/gradle project config is valid (and it builds via CLI) but does 
not open
with NB, please file a bug with reproducer.

NB doesn't have any support for bld projects.

best regards,
michael


It has been a long time since I tried to take a look at NetBeans.

Thanks.
