----------------------------------------
Summary: Problem with loading a project which has 2 different
project files
Key: NETBEANS-1802
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-1802
Project: NetBeans
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: projects - Generic Infrastructure, projects - Generic
Projects UI
Affects Versions: 9.0, 8.2, 10.0
Reporter: Christian Lenz
Most of the comments are inside of the external ticket, but I will summerize it:
When I have a project, with 2 different project related files like pom.xml and
package.json. One is always winning. In my case, pom is winning.
I had a html5 project, where NetBeans found package.json and everything was
fine, because it is a HTML5 project. After some infrastucture changes in my
company, using nexus to put artifacts on the repo, we had to add pom.xml files
for nexus. Now, after opening NetBeans, the project turns into a maven based
project, which is not correct. Only this one file and some infrastructure
files, which are not project sourcecode related are needed for nexus.
Now, because NetBeans things this is a maven project, I can't set the sass
compilation anymore or the folder structure is wrong.
This always happen, if the project loader finds a project specific file and
will change the project for that. This happens for pom.xml for example and for
this plugin here: https://github.com/tropyx/NetBeansPuppet
It turns a project into a puppet project and this is even more worse. Here is
another discussion about the problem:
https://github.com/tropyx/NetBeansPuppet/issues/27
I know, that NetBeans acts like it was designed but this isn't nice and created
problems. I only have one solution which could be ok. Give the user a
notification that a project type were found, like for node support and let the
user choose whether I want to change the project type or not.
So for me, I have a HTML5 Project with a package.json file and it should be as
it is. If NetBeans found the pom file it should give me the hint whether I want
to change it or not.
If you open NetBeans with a project with two files, I want to choose as what I
want to treat the project and it should be saved. Like a project switcher.
I added a sample project to it to make it clear.
We can set it back to Major, but I think this is a big problem for multiple
project files.
Cheers
Chris
