there's a wizard to share projects on Team servers with the Kenai Infrastructure. Is there a way to remove java.net from the wizard? It's in a JComboBox there. If you select it, the upload will fail on the last wizard page without a useful message. Uploading is turned off on the Java.net site, because java.net doesn't support creating public projects without moderation. Right now this is just perceived as a bug, that probably noone reports, because they'll go to the website and create their project there...

What about displaying a message and disabling the next/finish buttons when java.net is selected - something like "Java.net doesn't support creating public projects from the NetBeans IDE. Please use the Java.net website." 2.) another thing is that we haven't got any reaction on http://kenai.com/jira/browse/KENAI-3025 yet. Is there any chance they could make the API feature available? I would prefer to try the api call and in case it is still blocked we could show the err msg from 1.) It, wouldn't be that user-friendly fine tuned, but we were on the safe side and this isn't a heavily used feature anyway ...
Hi Tomas, I originally reported this, because I found out at a community leaders meeting, that java.net hadn't turned on this feature. I had encountered this bug before, but assumed there was a network problem (java.net used to be a bit unstable in the last year). Maybe there's a layout problem on mac os x, I don't see a message, just a warning sign with a generic text, I think it's two words followed by a colon and nothing after that. If you need more info here let me know. to 1: yes, that would be a good solution. to 2: I agree that it would be good to fix on the kenai side and then display a message. If you want me to test if the message is *really* displayed on os x as well, let me know.

If you need more info here let me know. what build do you use? the fix was integrated on 2011-09-28, and didn't made it into beta. the text is the actual error msg returned by kenai and a bit more descriptive, but still quite technical - "Project creation failed: creation via API disabled" > to 1: > yes, that would be a good solution. > to 2: > I agree that it would be good to fix on the kenai side and then display a message. If you want me to test if the message is *really* displayed on os x as > well, let me know. i would prefer 2.) before 1.), and of course, feel free to test... thanks
from now on it is possible to create projects on java.net via NetBeans.
