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

[Philip Race]

I am definitely up for a volunteer for this !

J2Demo, Stylepad and SwingSet2 are completely missing netbeans projects.
As I think I mentioned in the bug report, that's because when they were 
open-sourced,
the project files, because they live in a parallel directory, were 
overlooked.
I don't think it is worth open-sourcing those non-working projects now 
as a starter unless
you absolutely need them but I doubt you do. Same pattern as all the others.

You can use the bug ID 8359381  I submitted in your PR
