Description Ondrej Langr 2008-03-06 17:48:05 UTC 
This is due to improper name of the appropriate wizard ("Module Suite") and the need to disable non-platform netbeans
modules in project properties.

Entrance barrier with the current state is just too high and it is unlikely that a user would succeed in creating an
application on top of platform without reading "how to" documentation.

Suggested solution: create separate "Platform Application" project type which would by default have all non-platform
netbeans modules inactive and splash screen disabled. Keep the "Module Suite" wizard as it is.

I could have sworn this was already filed, but I can't find it now.
Comment 2 Ondrej Langr 2008-03-14 09:02:16 UTC 
Change: Suggested name is "NetBeans Platform Application" not "Platform Application". It should be the last in the group
which is now called "NetBeans Modules". Thanks.
Comment 3 Jesse Glick 2008-03-14 19:32:39 UTC 
Disabling the splash screen is not supported through the GUI, though you can add to project.properties:

run.args.extra=--nosplash

(This will not carry over into the JNLP or ZIP distros automatically.)
