Hi Tom, Kind of sounds like this isn't what you need, but if you worked with your source in an older version of Netbeans and want to move it to Netbeans 12.2, you can export the project from the old version of Netbeans and then import it into 12.2. The export and import options are under the File menu item.
If you don't have the source in project in an older version of Netbeans, you can create a New Project and select 'Java with Ant', and in the right box select 'Java Application'. You don't have to select one of the sub options under 'Java with Ant'. Uncheck the box for Create Main Class on the second screen. To get your source into the project you can copy it into the project src directory, or you can remove that directory and in the Project Properties use the Add Folder option for Sources to add your folder of source code. You'll also have to add your Main Class to Run under Project Properties, and add any libraries you need to the Project Properties. There may be a few other things you'll have to do in Properties. I did this with a project I originally created in Netbeans 8. Lisa Ruby On 3/1/2021 3:28 PM, Thomas Wolf wrote: > Hi, > I guess I haven’t tried to create a project in a long time.
