Solution

  • It depends on the exact nature of the project (java?) and its folder structure.

    See "Step by step directions for NetBeans IDE: " by Wayne Pollock

    • Click Next to create a clone of the repo (under the NetBeans projects folder). This should also scan for projects.

    Not finding any NetBeans project files, the “Create project” wizard should launch automatically.
    It may show a popup window instead, with “Do you want to create an IDE project from the cloned sources?”. If so, proceed by clicking the Create Project... button.)
    Use “Java Project with existing sources”, and click Next.

    • Pick some project name (e.g., “Proj2”), and hit Next.
    • Click the “Add Folder” button (for the “Source Package Folders” section), and select the “src” project folder. Click Next.
    • Make sure mypkg/Main.java shows in the list of included files.
      Then click the Finish button.

    If you only see “Main.java” and not “mypkg/Main.java”, then you didn't have the correct folder selected in the previous step.
    In this case, hit the “Back” button, click on the folder to select it, and hit the “Remove” button.
    Now click the “Add folder...” button and try again.

    That's it! You should now have a local repo, and a NetBeans project linked with it.
