Hi Ernie,

never seen this before, but it would come from this check:

https://github.com/apache/netbeans/blob/07c92138b2945b65dc642463c49e591b9a509d41/java/maven/src/org/netbeans/modules/maven/customizer/CustomizerProviderImpl.java#L141

what happens if you copy the parent pom into a newly created project. does it open from there?

Probably something about the pom, but what? With other maven projects, both single and multi module, the properties open fine.
