Product Version: NetBeans IDE 6.5 RC2 (Build 200810270001) Java: 1.6.0_10; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 11.0-b15 System: Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86; Cp1252; en_US (nb) Steps taken: 1. Choose New Project 2. Choose Netbeans Modules, Module. Click Next 3. Named module NwnHak. Changed directory for project location to e:\programming\netbeans (e: is a usb stick). Click Next. 4. Type org.kpn.nwnhak for code name base. Error at bottom "For this code name base, module must be in a directory "o.kpn.nwnhak"". This error does not occur if the directory for the project location does not contain the name netbeans. e:\programming\java works fine.
Strange, such a test should be applied to NB.org modules only (which cannot be created using the wizard). Could you look at project.xml, if it contains <standalone/> or <suite-component/> tag under project > configuration > data? Or attach project.xml file here. It works ok, for me, is it 100% reproducible on your system or random?
It is 100% reproducible on the system I reported from (my work PC). I can also reproduce the issue on my home PC following the exact steps mentioned. So long as the last folder in Project Location is not named 'Netbeans', I can create a Netbeans module project. In that folder, I cannot create a new Netbeans module project. I get that strange error. I cannot locate project.xml. Where can I find it? Would I even have one since I cannot create the project when following the steps I mentioned? It does not allow me to click 'Finish' to create the project.
Not into 7.0 or next release. Feel free to reopen if more important than it seems.
