NetBeans hangs at 40%

This is similar to bug numbers 140346 and 217861. Both of those are marked as "verified fixed", but I can reproduce this every single time I try to create a new PHP project with existing sources. System details below.

Repro steps:
1. Open NetBeans and try to create a new PHP project with existing sources.
2. Navigate to project source folder. For example, /opt/dev/my_project
3. Leave PHP version as 5.3 and the default encoding as UTF-8. Also, leave "Put Netbeans metadata into a separate directory" unchecked.
4. Click finish.

Note that NetBeans hangs at "Creating new project" with the progress meter at 40%. See the screenshot. At this point I must force NetBeans to close. This happens to me with both 7.3 and 7.3.1. After closing NetBeans, there is a nbproject folder in the project source directory, but it contains only a project.xml file which itself conatins a few lines:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://www.netbeans.org/ns/project/1">
    <type>org.netbeans.modules.php.project</type>
    <configuration/>
</project>

Also, if I delete the nbproject folder and try to create the project again, NetBeans will hang again.
Comment 2 Tomas Mysik 2013-10-09 05:43:03 UTC 
Please, try to use:
- NetBeans 7.4 (currently RC2 available);
- a clean userdir [1].

If any of those does not help, reproduce your problem and when the IDE hangs, create a thread dump [2], reopen this issue and attach it here.

Thanks.

I was all set to re-open this bug when the project loaded. It displayed "40%" for several minutes before continuing. I'm assuming that this is has something to to with the project size and the fact that it resides on a slow NFS mount.
