Mass NetBeans Projects Opener with Force Update

This is an update to the original Mass NetBeans Projects Opener module. It addresses an issue with existing projects that contains manual changes in the build script.

If the nbproject/build-impl.xml in your existing project has been manually edited before (either intensionally or unintentionally), then opening the project using the latest NetBeans will not help you upgrade your project. If you are sure there is no reason to keep the manual changes in the old build-impl.xml, you have two options:

• Manually delete build-impl.xml in your project, and then reopen the project in NetBeans; or
  
• Do a force update using the updated Mass NetBeans Projects Opener module. This will delete your old build-impl.xml automatically before opening the projects.
  

In both cases, NetBeans will regenerate the deleted file for you.

Note that if you have manual changes in your projects' build-impl.xml that you want to keep, you should probably consider moving them to your project's build.xml first.

The updated Mass NetBeans Projects Opener module for NetBeans 6.0 is available here.
