Erno,
Thanks for your quick reply! Apologies for not returning it, sometimes
work can be a bit taxing.
I've tried this feature again in 6.7RC3 and it doesn't seem to affect
me anymore. I'll have to create a new project just to be sure, but it
looks like things are ok - even though compile on save is unchecked
(default). We'll continue to use Java projects for now.
I understand that adding support for Java forms is no trivial change.
My main goal was just to make sure we could still keep using and
promoting Netbeans as a good tool for Monkeybars.
Thanks for the help!
