This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
This alert is shown when a project with missing references is opened.
Jano, the UI spec does not say what the alert should say. Feel free to update budle key MSG_Broken_References in java/j2seproject/src/org/netbeans/modules/java/j2seproject/Bundle.properties with whatever text you want. If you open multiple projects at once it is hard to tell user which projects has broken references, so I changed color of project name to red in case it is broken. Also there is a heuristic to not show message box more than once when multiple projects are open at once.

It does say that: http://projects.netbeans.org/nonav/buildsys/j2se-project-ui- spec.html#Alert_Open_Project
Sorry, I had to be using older version from my browser cache. Now I can see it. I'm going to update the impl.
I changed the text. I need badge. At the moment project name is in red.

Either the red color is enough or attach a badge. Thx.
Created attachment 15357 [details] A badge indicating a project with broken references.
The badge is attached. It should be in "B1 Top" area of project icon: http://ui.netbeans.org/nonav/docs/badging/badging.html
Fixed. The badge is IMHO not very good - it is hardly visible on J2SE project node.
This issue was solved long time ago. Because nobody has reopened it neither added comments, we are verifying/closing it now. If you are still able to reproduce the problem, please reopen. Thanks in advance.
