screenshot showing that no main classes are listed, but the java file for one is present.

NB 8.0 RC1

Immediately after crating a new JavaFX Application with preloaded:
- Select the main project in the projects view and choose Run from the context menu.
- A dialog opens asking to pick the main class but no classes are available to pick.

For some reason it is not aware of the main class that was created for the project by the wizard.

This happens for me if you try to RUN the project BEFORE background scanning is finished. 

Scott, does the project run AFTER allowing background scanning to finish?

My environment:
Product Version: NetBeans IDE 8.0 RC1 (Build 201402202300)
Java: 1.8.0; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 25.0-b69
Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.8.0-b129
System: Windows 8 version 6.2 running on x86; Cp1252; en_US (nb)

Comment 3 swpalmer 2014-02-22 22:56:26 UTC 
Also fails if you select "Build".  See screenshot of dialog asking for JavaFX Applications Class with none to choose from.
Comment 4 swpalmer 2014-02-22 22:57:17 UTC 
Bumping to P2 since it is impossible to build the project.
Comment 5 swpalmer 2014-02-23 00:12:46 UTC 
Yes, there is no background scan or processing running when I try this.  I just came back after watching TV for an hour and tried to Run and Build the project that was still open. I'm getting the same results.
Comment 6 swpalmer 2014-02-23 00:15:05 UTC 
Likely a duplicate of Bug 239676.

Forcing a "Scan for external changes" fixes the issue as mentioned in that issue.
Comment 7 swpalmer 2014-02-23 00:16:18 UTC 
Moving back to P3 since a workaround exists.
Comment 8 Roman Svitanic 2014-02-24 08:29:53 UTC 
Marking as duplicate, since the root cause is same.
