Does anyone still want netbeans project files for building/running client demos ?

[Antonio Vieiro]

Hi all,

Yes, those "nbproject" files are very outdated and can't even be opened with the latest NetBeans versions.

Demos are still shipped by different people [1].

I think it's worth updating and keeping them around, because it makes it easier for newbies to open them in an IDE and experiment with them.

I can update them to the latest NetBeans versions if you want.

Cheers,
Antonio
