[ JDK VERSION : 1.7.0_45 ]

I'm really missing the possibility to copy external files into the project with
NetBeans. E.g. I often had the case that after some hg merges one of the
.java/.form pair files was missing, so I had to add them from external which
caused 2 problems:
1. missing hg tracking
2. missing re-assignment between .java/.form pairs (I had both items visible in
Project Browser)
