I figured out a solution.  Not sure how this can be fixed to catch the mistake, since it is possibly a user error or maybe user/system error.  Maybe a prompt that something was deleted during the Netbeans startup scan.

My profile changed and some items were deleted related to my Netbeans IDE project.  I un-installed Netbeans 6.7.1 and deleted the rest of my .netbeans files in my profile.  I then installed 6.7.1 again and applied some updates that included the Visual Web JSF plugins that I am working with.

I also noticed when starting 6.7.1 again that there are some 6.5.1 settings that could be added and I ok'd those to include in my 6.7.1 settings.

Every is back to normal with the un-install/re-install of Netbeans 6.7.1 that I had been using.  A note that I tried 6.9.1 first, though when creating a test project I could not get the Visual Web JSF plugins/downloads working.

Sorry, but it is not clear to me what project you have open, neither which file. Unfortunately, without some steps to reproduce that I could follow, it will be very hard to do anything about this.

This issue can be closed, since I figured out how to fix.

There error as shown in the Bug linne above is from a standard looking .java file that is created when a Visual Web JSF page is created.

The first error is line 8 ('import com.sun.rave...') in the below Java code from the file named, 'ApplicationBean1.java'.
