Description William Leonard 2006-09-14 18:17:41 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:

1. Open a BlueJ project such as calculator
(http://www.bluej.org/netbeans/tutorial/calculator.zip).
2. Choose File > Convert to J2SE Project.
3. Try to open the project in NetBeans. It will fail because the projext.xml is
empty.

brian,

the project should have opened for you automatically after conversion. I suppose
something failed on your computer. The same project conversion works for me on
macosx+jdk1.5.

can you attach your messages.log file to the bug?

Hi Milos:

It looks like the problem was caused because I was running NBBJ under JDK 1.4 -
I don't recall why this was the case. 

Caused by: java.io.IOException: You need to have xerces.jar available to use
XMLUtil.write under JDK 1.4: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
org.apache.xml.serialize.XMLSerializer

Switching to 6.0 solves the problem. Closing the issue.

Thanks,
Brian
