Netbeans there is a way to create an empty project?

Question

I 'am a Visual Studio (VB.net / C#) programmer and I have installed Netbeans.

When I open a new project 'Java application' don't create a new EMPTY project but add the project to the other previous projects.

In Visual Studio (and all other IDEs) if I choose 'new project' after I see ONLY my new project and not all projects.

How can I do to create only a new empty project with Netbeans ?

P.S.

I don't want use Eclipse becouse I need a Visual Ide (form in particual) and Netbeans see better for this point.

Thank you !

Answer 1

There's no explicit form for doing that. As a workaround you can create a project of any type according what you will want to do (Java, C++, PHP, HTML, etc), and then delete the resources created automatically except "nbproject" folder. With this approach you have something similar to an empty project. I recently used this trick for group some modules created for PrestaShop and then push them to Git VCS as if it were a single project, when actually each module is an independent project folder.
