Thread: Netbeams having a mysterious glitch about a work directory not existing.

It's always giving me messages like this:

BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 15 seconds)

It's only been happening since yesterday but I can't find the cause of it. I'm hoping I didn't delete the wrong thing one day (sometimes I might have copied a project from one place to another twice and maybe I mistakenly deleted something I shouldn't have. I'm not sure. But it's keeping me from using it.

While I don't use it that much for my own programs, I am using it heavily for a web development class. It even affects new apps, not just old ones.

I can't just go and delete everything as I need it there, even if that would solve the problem.

Let me revise that. It will let me do some web service apps and index pages of websites but no java files compile correctly. Or at least they won't run if they're compiling. I'm not sure which kind of error that is above. Since there's no syntax error markers in any of the documents, I'm going to guess that it's a runtime error.
