Re: Netbeans doesn't recognize project folder
Let me first talk about how I program java. I installed Sun Java into the Ubuntu system so I can compile and run java from the Terminal. For NetBeans I have a JDK1.7_upadatexxx folder in my Home folder. That is also where I installed NetBeans 7.xx. The Home Folder installs are for two reasons:
[1] I can have multiple NetBeans, e.g. NetBeans for SE, EE and ME. (I like SE the best).
[2] Installing java into Ubuntu file system creates issues with file permissions.
Some folks like having write/read protected program files. Personally, when I'm sweating code all I want to worry about is code and not files. You MAY have a file permission problem from Windows but java code files are Unicode text files. NOBODY has sodomized Unicode like Microsoft has. Microsoft is not international. Microsoft is localized.
Now, for your thumb drive (and this is not a NetBeans thingy). In NetBeans you 'Open Project'. You navigate all way the up to Root, e.g. '/', then '/media' and in that folder should be the name of your thumb drive.
On Windows7 you can inadvertently change a thumb drive from FAT32 into exFAT. exFAT is totally non-interchangeable with any other OS. When Win7 says to scan and fix errors on a thumb --> YOU SAY NO. FAT32 is the only format that can plug-n-play with other machines including cameras.
Hope that helps.
