[OldBug]

I tried on some other OSs and had no problems, so I uninstalled NetBeans and the JDK, then re-installed everything. It solved the problem, but I'm still not sure what caused the problem in the first place.

Maybe another clue: I now seem to have a project type called "Maven" which was not in the list previously.

Anyway - it works.

Thanks for the help,

Kerry
