Here's a slightly related thing. Can you debug something that is not under a project? We often think of debugging as an activity that one does on their own code on their own machine. In such situations we desire a reproducible testacase and just run everything under the ide. But there are situations when you're trying to debug someone else's code which was not even developed using NB and you feel most comfortable with NB as a debugger front end. You might be debugging this other code because you delivered a component to them, a jar file, that you build using NB but are forced to debug it in the context of whomever you delivered to component to. Or ... if some day in the future you end up with stepping through an RMI call into a server on remote host will the code for that server have to be part of some "project" for things to work? This is related to the File issue in the sense that editing files isn't the only thing that one might want to do outside of the world of projects. Maybe one conclusion from this might be that debuggercore should be able to be configured so it worls if there are no projects?
