Description _ rkusterer 2005-10-11 10:02:40 UTC 
I just (successfully) checked out an NB module and got this dialog saying: 

"No NetBeans project was checked-out. 
Do you want to create a new one from checked-out sources?"

This is confusing, the message seems to say "Nothing was checked out", I first
thought it had failed. Could you please have a native speaker (which I am
neither) rephrase it to something less ambiguous, like:

"Your checked-out sources are not a NetBeans project. Do you want..." ?

I'm embarrassed, I think I worked on the text to change this from something
else, but I did not see the confusion that it could cause.

Sorry to make this a P2, but I think it would be a low-risk change with high
user impact and it should be made before translation starts.

I would recommend changing this to:

"Do you want to create an IDE project from the checked-out sources?"
