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.
After you checkout sources that have a netbeans project, the Open Projects dialog appears that enable you to select the projects that you want to open. To select the projects you select the name(s)/row(s) that you want to open. I think it would be clearer and simpler if there was a checkbox to the left of each project that you want to open instead of selecting a table row.
