However, just within the past 2 weeks, we can no longer bring the Alice 3 worlds into NetBeans projects. We now get an error message in NetBeans of regarding an “unsupported source, binary format (image shown below). The full screen capture of the NetBeans screen is attached, showing the other projects that have been completed without problems. This error first occurred for us in Chapter 2: Project 2: Alice Character Movement using Arithmetic (trying to move a witch object to a cauldron object, without ending up inside the cauldron). The error below shows up, asking for us to “resolve it”, but the “resolve” button does not fix anything. The “default package” folder is empty… does not include any of the objects, etc as in earlier projects that worked.
