Method Details
- isProject2
  
  ProjectManager.Result isProject2(org.openide.filesystems.FileObject projectDirectory)
  
  Test whether a given directory probably refers to a project recognized by this factory without actually trying to create it.
  Should be as fast as possible as it might be called sequentially on a lot of directories.
  
  Need not be definite; it is permitted to return null or throw an exception from ProjectFactory.loadProject(org.openide.filesystems.FileObject, org.netbeans.spi.project.ProjectState) even when returning Result instance from this method, in case the directory looked like a project directory but in fact had something wrong with it.
  
  Will be called inside read access.
  
  Parameters:
  
  projectDirectory - a directory which might refer to a project
  
  Returns:
  
  Result instance if this factory recognizes it, or null if the directory is not recognized
