Description

While an exercise a/b gets the name a-b in the server, the netbeans project is most often named just b. This may lead to confusing naming because the student won't see the category a in netbeans.

Perhaps this can be solved in the create-project script (in the course template), or maybe some better solution is possible.

Research direction

Locate the create-project script in the course template and inspect how the NetBeans project name is derived for an exercise such as a/b. Compare that naming with the server's a-b convention; done means the generated project name exposes the directory components and the behavior is verified.
