This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Open "Project properties"/"Application descriptor"/"BD-J" Type something to the "Deployment Directory" field and apply "Ok" Try to build project.
Check should be added in task/build script fragment IMO
Bad description. What is the problem of the issue ? You are unable to build ? Something else. Please provide full description of issue: current result, expected result. The IDE is not static . It is under development. Issues can be in one build and absent in another. This is why we have Issue TRACKER. We should be able to know exact steps to reproduce issue. Its incorrect result ( from your point of view ) and expected result ( from your point of view ). I don't see a problem now with building project after changing mentioned directory. Have you wrote something special ? What do you mean "something" ? Please provide more details.
Simple example: I write "~!@#$%^&*()_+:\$?" to the "Deployment Directory" and try to build. BUILD will be FAILED and you can see only "...Syntax error in the file name...." in the end of long string (this string isn't red) in the output window. I think that UI should be more customer oriented. And in this case better to check value of "Deployment Directory" during its changing in the "Project Properties" dialog.
I think, there were two issues - one was if path did not exist, it was not created. Fixed in CS 5da4e7fc6418. The other issue with "~!@#$%^&*()_+:\$?" I think is really user error and reported standard way - I expect user to be more smarter not to insert such string and hoping it will pass. IMHO, next step could be checking code in editor and not allow to write code with bad paterns?
