Description emiddio 2008-12-19 17:54:55 UTC

java projects -- both j2se, j2ee -- the projects/properties dialog -- keeeps getting bigger and bigger; when trying to
edit the run tab -- or sources -- i have to use the scroll bar to find the area to edit text or find buttons; today
when starting nb65 it was so much bigger i decided to do the painful -- very painful task of starting nb65 without
an existing .netbeans/6.5 directory -- to force things to fresh -- but now i am forced to loose all my project groups
and preferences -- very painful.

this took about a month of use to manifest;

after restarting nb65 fresh -- the favorites seems broken -- i can no longer see filename that begin with "." -- a
period.

how do i fix that; how can i reinitialize nb65 without loosing all my preferences/favorites, project groups ??????

i saved my bad .netbeans/6.5 directory in case i can somehow reuse it later.

there is no receipe for recreating this issue -- just really use netbeans alot.

i discovered a way to reproduce the problem;

create a netbeans java project; all default options;

build project -- no editing, no customizations;

choose project properties -- in my case -- not exhaustive testing -- i open each tab to look at settings;

like Sources, Libraries, Build/Compiling, Build/Packaging, ...etc;

once i select Monitoring and Management -- the properties window get bigger;
