VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM, 11.0-b12, Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment, 1.6.0_10-beta-b25

User Comments: 
Switching Project Groups to a project group containing the EchoService project referenced in the error.

Apparently, the system cannot set a project in a project group to be the main project before it opens the project.

Stacktrace: 
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: NB_REPORTER_IGNORE: Project EchoService is not open and cannot be set as main.

Issue 141242 had nearly the same problem, but it was while setting an imported eclipse project as the main project. 
This issue was closed as WORKSFORME, but the problem seems to be underlying in setting a project to main project and 
not just the eclipse importer.
Comment 3 Milan Kubec 2008-08-04 09:02:00 UTC 
Unfortunately the exception:

IllegalArgumentException: Project ... is not open and cannot be set as main.

is only consequence of some other problem that happened sometimes during project opening or creating. The original
exception in this case seems to be (see the XML file at http://statistics.netbeans.org/analytics/loggerasxml?id=85517):

java.io.IOException: cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting with element 'extension'. One of
'{"http://www.netbeans.org/ns/ant-build-extender/1":extension}' is expected.

Which would point to issue #142230, that was fixed on Aug 2nd.

Note: the URL seems to point to wrong trace, correct one is IMO:
http://statistics.netbeans.org/analytics/detail.do?id=85517

To sunbiz: I mentioned wrong issue number in issue #141242, in fact the fixed issue was issue #141766.
