Netbeans error unrecognized project; missing plugin?

Wednesday, August 27, 2014




I just recently had this error on another computer and thought I'd share how to fix it for anyone who has the same issue, it's really simple and wont take long to do. I'm not sure why the plugin wasn't already installed on this computer but anyway the following is a screenshot of the error and how to fix it.


First go to Tools > Plugins


 Go to the available plugins tab and type in the search box "web", look for a plugin with the name "Java Web Applications", depending on the version of netbeans you are using you may need to add "Java EE Base" instead, click the check box then click the install button. You will be shown a wizard to install the plugin, just click next and then finish.


After that you should be able to open your projects fine. Thanks for reading!
