Re: Will the option "enable annotation processors" be on by default in NB69 release?

Hello David Strupl,

sorry for not using my real name, I'm used to be anonymous, or
to use nicknames on the internet. Most people seem not to be annoyed
by that. I think, knowing the email address from where a message came,
implies non-anonymity.

Also, it was not my intension to draw special attention to the
issue, by posting to this mailing list instead of filing a bug report.

Now, I followed your suggestion and have filed a bug report:
http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=184899

In that report I also clarify, that only the fact that the generated folder is displayed
in "Projects View" is strange, not the generation of an empty folder itself.

Best regards,
Ivan G Shevchenko.
