[jira] [Created] (NETBEANS-1231) Better description for incompatible projects

Christian Lenz created NETBEANS-1231:
----------------------------------------

             Summary: Better description for incompatible projects
                 Key: NETBEANS-1231
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-1231
             Project: NetBeans
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: projects - Generic Infrastructure, projects - Generic Projects UI
    Affects Versions: 8.2, Next
            Reporter: Christian Lenz


After the project structure of NetBeans 9 changed a bit like grouping some modules into cluster folders, I can't open the platform/core.multiview project anymore. It says: Directory doesn't contain any project. So that means, this project is incompatible with NetBeans 8.2 where I tried to open such project.

So for the next release, NB 10 e.g. it would be better to have a better description for hat. This description is not saying anything. Of course it says, that there is no project folder, but this is wrong. NetBeans shows the puzzle icon for thatr project and has a nbproject folder in it. So everything seems right.

My suggestion is to show this message: It could be, that your project is not compatible anymore with your NetBeans installation. I mean if you use VS 2010 and using VS 2015 and want to open such a project, I think this is also not possible. Only to say here that we need a proper string for that. If we can figure out more info. Maybe that it was built with NB > your current version, then the message would make sense.


Cheers

Chris
