Description Petr Jiricka 2010-08-06 12:04:08 UTC 
Created attachment 101245 [details]
Screenshot of the project explorer and the main class selection dialog

This happened to me using the following steps, but I am not sure if the problem can be reproduced consistently this way:

1. Create a new Java library project
2. Create a class and type in a main method in it
3. Copy/paste this class under a different name

The first class has an icon badge indicating it is executable, while the second one does not. At the same time, when I try to run the project, both classes are correctly detected as having the main method. See the attached screenshot.

Comment 3 MackSix 2015-09-18 17:02:29 UTC 
This is still valid. 

1. Raname a Class with a main() method.
2. Use Hint to rename the Java file and the "Needs to be compiled" glyph goes away.

Workaround: Restart NetBeans.

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.
