Description

When opening two different Maven projects that share the same source folder, the Source Packages node of one of the two projects in the Projects window can not be opened and displays the following caption:

Source Packages is owned by project <X>, cannot be used here, see issue #138310 for details.

Substitute the name of the other project for <X>.

 

I can easily reproduce the problem by having the following declaration in the POMs of my Maven sub-modules:

<build>
  <sourceDirectory>../src/main/java</sourceDirectory>
</build>

 

In the netbeans.org issue tracker, the mentioned issue and related issues seem to be fixed.
