Description

I'm using many independent gradle (java-library style) projects opened in NB. 

They are not part of a big multi module project!

Whenever I want to navigate to a source file from another project relative to the current one, Netbeans opens the source from ~/.m2/repository.../project.jar and not from the local file of the referenced  project which is of course also opened in NB.

The same goes for debugging, I have to set breakpoints in .m2 sources (opened from projects configurations navigator items). Debugging libraries from local sources is not possible.

I already tried to disable all ~/.m2 Sources under Window->Debugging->Sources.

This doesn't change the behavior though (also not after restarting).

Even if it would change the behavior I then would have to disable all those automatically added ~/.m2 (which are somehow preferred) references for every project.

Maybe I'm just to stupid to find the right (global) option but ATM I think this behavior is a bug.

Attached Test Case:

• open both projects in Netbeans
• deploy both project to local maven repo via custom rungradle action (clean build publishToMavenLocal)

• go to NewClass in justalib
• ctrl click on the new Lib2Class statement

Expectation: Lib2Class gets opened from local filesystem, one can directly edit the referenced file.

Actual: Lib2Class gets opened from local maven repo, read only.
