I've installed Netbeans 5.0 on a Linux box here, and have copied over a
number of directories from Windows using Netbeans 3.6 there. Am wondering if
anyone is aware of how I can simply mount a filesystem, and recognise these
java sources, from 3.6 ? Anyone have any idea on this? Thanks, Ike

Use Samba to share filesystems between your windows and linux hosts.

If you are referring to the Netbeans 3 concept of "mount filesystem", then that
has gone away in Netbeans 5 (it was removed in Netbeans 4).
The nearest you will get is to create a new Project. Select File->New Project...
then in Categories select General and in Projects: Project with Existing
Sources. It's not the same, in fact it's nothing like the same and was one of
my biggest problems in switching from NB3 to NB4.
