I have installed NetBeans C/C++ Pack 5.5.1 and I can't view the project properties.
What version of netbeans did you install into?
Into 6.0, correct? I just verified properties are broken with today's NB trunk.
A work-around was implemented a while ago. The properties should display fine now. It is not a permanent fix though so I will keep the iz open.

I investigated this some more and I'm not sure there is a good fix. The problem is nodes are added asynchronously with a delay up to 0.15 seconds (PropertySheetView.setNodes(...)) so the nodes may not have been added when CND display the property sheet. I have asked nbdev for advise but so far no answer. I think the work-around (sleep .2 secs) should be a stable work-around for now and it does seem to work. I will downgrade this IZ to p3 and wait for a better solution, if there is one. Please upgrade if you see the problem again.
Allow me to chime in; I'm the reporter of issue 110142, which indeed seems to be a dup of this. I'm utterly naïve when it comes to how Swing/Netbeans works internally, but there are two things: 1. All my (many) years of developing software have told me that hardcoded delays with "magic" value in order to prevent races don't really fix anything. One day somebody is going to introduce something that changes the timing, and the fix breaks. 2. Since I see the correct panel flash briefly before <No Properties> being displayed, it means that the panel is indeed present and properly configured. So why's the <No Prop> panel added at all?! Could explicit layering priority fix this? I.e. <No Prop> is Layer Zero (bottom) and the C/C++ panel is Layer Ten (something > 0). Anyway, it's just a simple suggestion.
QA has escalated this to P2.
Has anyone seen a blank panel after I implemented the work-around? I had a mail conversation with the developer of the PropertySheetView and he couldn't suggest a better solution.
Yes. I saw this once this weekend and again last night. When I saw it last night, I clicked on Running and then re-clicked on General and the properties where there.
Filed http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=118638. Let's see what they say....
Will use PropertySheet and not PropertySheetView. See 118638 for details.
