Description _ tboudreau 2004-01-24 00:20:24 UTC

Open the New | Folder over some directory (in my case, 
"org/netbeans").  I meant to click Java Package and didn't 
notice.

Type "actions.impl" and click Finish.

A Properties file icon appears in explorer.  When you try to 
open it, an exception is thrown - it really did create a 
folder, but somehow the Properties DataLoader grabs it.  
Seems to happen for any folder name ending in ".impl".

Refiling on the Properties module - I can't reproduce this for any other file type, so 
presumably their loader simply doesn't check to see if it's looking at a file or a folder.  
Though I have no idea what ".impl" means to the Properties module.

Confirmed.

One can reproduce the wrong behaviour both with .properties and .impl
files. The bug is in DataLoader for properties files.
