Getting "Project folder ins managed by a project..." when opening Actviti source code in netbeans

Question

I can't open Activiti source code in netbeans It just says "Project folder is managed by a project Activiti. Instead of creating a new project just open it. If by a chance you just deleted the project Activiti then restart the IDE to reuse the folder."

I have restarted Netbeans and re-cloned the project but it still won't open.

And eclipse just says that the javac was not found in the build.xml.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The project folder does not contain a nbproject folder.

Right but the folder containing my project does not have a nbproject folder or file. — OneTwo, Dec 15 '14 at 10:54

Try the following:

rename the pom.xml file to something else, e.g. pom.xmlzzzz,
create the project in NetBeans,
rename pom.xmlzzzz back to pom.xml once the project has loaded in NetBeans.

I've just hit the same problem with a different project and this is what fixed it for me.

Netbeans creates a folder in your project named "nbproject". Once you delete that, restart the IDE and you're good to go.

Go to the folder containing your project
Delete the folder named nbproject
Restart Netbeans
Try creating your project again from the original folder

Thanks but the folder does not contain a nbproject folder. Look at my edits to my post. – OneTwo Dec 15 '14 at 10:56
Try to create new project, restart NetBeans and open recently used projects – Anatoly Ruchka Dec 15 '14 at 12:00
