Description Maksim Khramov 2007-02-15 09:18:34 UTC 
Actually there are no way to determine, what kind of project was created, except
the project icon and its internal structure. But some projects has the same icon
and different internal structure (for example Java project with existing Ant
script and Web Project with existing Ant script). So determine project type is
not easy.

I recently brought up a similar concern on nbui about the freeform project icon;
did anyone read it?
Comment 2 bdrx 2014-11-05 04:51:59 UTC 
At a minimum the project type could be manually set by the user in the project.xml and if the type is not configured then it could use the default icon.  It would be very convenient to be able to quickly know the type of a project just by looking at an icon in the same way that one currently can with standard netbeans projects.

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
