It seems you have already something in your (most probably home folder)
what NetBeans detects as a project.
We have a thing called FileOwnerQuery which shall able to say that a
folder belongs to what project. In this case we call it on
/Users/twols/spectare/satriage/src and we are expecting a null (not
owned by any project), instead that query says that this folder belongs
to a project called twolf
So I'd look for project files like nbproject/ folder, build.xml,
pom.xml, build.gradle and settings.gradle files in your home folder.

Hi everyone,
I’m at a loss here. I hope you guys can help:
I created a completely new GIT repository on my mac at:
/Users/twolf/spectare/git/satriage
and then created a src/ directory under it.
Next, I opened Netbeans and tried to create a project this way (have
done this dozens of times without trouble):
New Project… -> Java with Ant -> Java with Existing Source
I enter a project name ‘satriage’ and hit ‘Next’ where I’m asked to
enter a source package folder. I try to enter:
/Users/twolf/spectare/git/satriage/src/
but I get an error message about that package having been used in
another project??? (see attached error dialog)
Nonetheless, I did a ‘grep -r ‘satriage’ . in my NetBeansProjects/
directory to see if any project references this directory - but none
do. I also deleted $HOME/Library/Caches/NetBeans/12.4/ in case thee’s
some old, cached info that might be to blame - but no luck. Still
getting that error :-(
Then I deleted $HOME/Library/Application Support/NetBeans/12.4 - still
the same error :-(
Next, I renamed my $HOME/NetBeansProjects/ directory - again, same
error :-(
In my desperation, I installed Netbeans 12.5 from scratch and without
importing any settings from 12.4. But STILL the same error :-(
Neither NB 12.4 nor 12.5 had any projects open when I did this, so
how does NB decide that the package is in use in another project???
Again, in terms of env, I’m running NB 12.4 w. JDK 17 on macOS Monterey.
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Thanks a bunch,
tom
