Can't open a basic project

Greetings,

I've been away from NetBeans for a while.  Thought I'd give NetBeans 28 a
try.

I am trying it with the system located at
https://github.com/blakemcbride/Kiss

Although that system includes build files for Maven, Gradle, and Ant, it
isn't built with any of them.  Pom.xml is just there to describe
dependencies for GitHub.  The Gradle build was a failed experiment (I
should delete that!).  And the Ant script is just a cover to call the
actual build system.

Those build files can be deleted so that NetBeans doesn't get confused.

I have tried to use NetBeans 28 for a while with no luck.  It appears to
only support "standard" applications.  If you try to do anything
innovative, you're out of luck.

I use IntelliJ everyday with it without any problems.  It makes me think
that NetBeans is designed to only work in very specific and conventional
projects.  It is not a generic IDE.

Anyway, I successfully used NetBeans in the past but with each passing
version it becomes more and more impossible.

Although I doubt this message will be received well, I thought I'd share it
anyway.

Thanks.

Blake McBride
