title: Version 8.2 difficulties
body: <p>I upgraded to version 8.2 and my projects list disappeared. When I pointed to the folder where my java files are located, Netbeans cannot find a project file. However, in the folder reside my 2 java files and a form file. 
  Admittedly, I do lack a bit of Netbeans experience, and for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to import these files into a project - and be able to work with the form. Can anyone give me a pointer on how to resurrect my project?</p>
  
  <p>Edited at recommendation:
  When I selected "Open Project" and entered the path to where my files are located "/Users/robertbray/Documents/Robert/NetBeans/numberaddition/" In the "Project Folder" pane, nothing appears, as if the project does not exist.  So, playing around this evening, I used the "Open File" method and entered the path "/Users/robertbray/Documents/Robert/NetBeans/numberaddition", now I am able to see my source files (NumberAdditionUI.java, NumberAdditionUI.form, and GraphPanel2.java) and I can open them, including the form (design). However, I cannot determine how to convert this to a project file so I can build and run the code - these options are greyed out.</p>
