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.
select "file/new project" and point to a directory that contains an a complete java project. This would be a stand-alone project not from netbeans. ex: made with good ol` fashioned vi and ant. Select the checkmark for "use existing sources" and see the msg "folder already exists and is not empty". The "Finish" button is still grayed out. There is no way to finish making the new project, in netbeans, and use the existing code.
Work has not yet started on importing existing sources. For now you can only create new projects from scratch. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 41764 ***
