Description lfischer 2017-01-16 08:38:22 UTC

I had a windows share mounted as drive e: and set that as working directory for a project. Now next time I tried to run the project I did not mount that share before.

While it is perfectly right that netbeans did not start the project - it is definitely not ok to do so silently. No error message - no log entry no nothing came up. It just silently did nothing.

Some form of error message would be good.
