Description

If I have an ant based NetBeans module and I run or debug it, I have an action on the project called "Reload in Target platform". That means, that it will apply code changes on the running instance of NetBeans where it runs my plugin. This is really nice and works often quite good. So I don't need to restart my instance.

When I have a maven based NetBeans module, the action is also there, but this is not working. Instead of applying the code changes, I always got this message dialog (See screenshot)

I attached my project, where this happens.

Steps:

• Open my project in NetBeans
• Build it
• Run it
• Change smth (Not needed)
• Right click the project
• Choose "Reload in Target platform
• See this dialog.

I don't know why this happens, but I expect the same result as for an ant based NetBeans module. If this is not possible, for whatever reason, the action shouldn't be there.

Cheers
