Q: 

Missing Plug-In When Opening Project in NetBeans

I've inherited a java project that appears to have been developed using the NetBeans IDE.

It contains a nbproject subdirectory.

When I try to open the project using NetBeans 6.9 it reports the following error in the Project Name text box:

<unrecognized project; missing plug-in?>

How can I determine which plug-in it is looking for?

+2  A: 

Try installing 'Java Web and EE' plugin.

I installed the "Java Web Applications" Plugin and that resolved it, thanks! Sure would be nice if it gave a more detailed error message.

It's like expecting someone who's got a book in foreign language he'd never seen before, to say what dictionary he needs to read it. Sure, displaying project type as deined in project.xml could help a little, but that's about all information NB could give you.
