Description wobster 2012-07-02 15:28:19 UTC 
When I attempt to create a JavaFX in Swing Project and click the "finish" button, the process fails half way through with "Project folder already exists and is not empty" error. When I look at the directory only the nbproject/project.xml artifact was created and everything else is missing.
Comment 1 Stepan Zebra 2012-07-02 18:18:46 UTC 
Are you attempting to create the project without a Main class?
Comment 2 wobster 2012-07-03 00:41:53 UTC 
Yes. It looks like I was creating a project with "Create Main Class" checkbox unchecked. It works if I check the box.

BTW, why can there only be one run target in a JavaFX project?

JavaFX projects - including the special JavaFX in Swing type - are designed to follow the JavaFX 2+ deployment scheme:
http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/deployment/jfxpub-deployment.htm
You can setup some Run Configurations and switch between them using the config combobox in IDE's toolbar.
If you are referring to the fact that you can't run more than one instance of the same project, that's not currently supported, but it's under development (see issue 212147).
