Michele Costabile updated NETBEANS-3810:
----------------------------------------
Description:
NetBeans cannot get past installation of JavaFX and nb-javac on my installation
behind a company firewall. This problem was also in 11.2, but it did not stop
the IDE from working. It just kept on quietly asking for nb-javac installation.
11.3, on the other hand does not seem to get past this problem. It keeps on
asking for installation of javafx and nb-javac and "Loading projects" never
comes to an end.
I tested my proxy setting in options and I have a green light with system
settings and also with manual settings.
In any case I have never been able to install nb-javac and could not find
instructions on how to install manually the plugin.
Note that my proxy has deep packet inspection and can create problems with
certificate verification on SSL.
EDIT: the request for installation is not an infinite loop. It appears to be
once for every open project. Hitting cancel more times, the progress bar in the
status bar eventually gets to 100%, but all the projects are reported broken.
EDIT: as you can see from the comments below, it was really a problem with
certificates. When you are behind a proxy with deep inspection, certificates
are manipulated in such a way that you have to trust your company root
certificate to avoid failure in trust chains.
This becomes a NetBeans installation problem because:
* Differently from other IDEs, NetBeans delegates everything to JDK, so it
requires that the trust problem is solved in the JDK, not in the IDE
preferences. It should be stated
* In 11.2 the IDE did not enter a loop waiting for nb'javac installation to
validate projects
* Test connection in proxy settings did not report certificate problems
