Eirik Bakke created NETBEANS-5757: ------------------------------------- Summary: Compile-on-Save drops static initializer (vanilla javac) Key: NETBEANS-5757 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-5757 Project: NetBeans Issue Type: Bug Components: java - Compiler Affects Versions: 12.4 Environment: NetBeans 12.4 _without_ nb-javac installed (started from clean user and cache directories to ensure no trace of nb-javac was left from my old installation). Java 11.0.11 or Java 17-ea+25. Windows 10. Reporter: Eirik Bakke
Very great to see Compile-on-Save now working without the external nb-javac plugin! Here's the first bug I've found around this. To reproduce, create an empty maven-based Java project and add the following class: {code:java} public class StaticInitializerExample { private static final String SOME_CONSTANT; static { SOME_CONSTANT = "I am a constant."; } public static final void main(String args[]) { System.out.println(SOME_CONSTANT); } } {code} Do a clean build and run. The application will print, "I am a constant." Tested on both Java 11.0.11 and Java 17-ea+25. Now do any trivial change to the code, such as adding a comment, and save. Run again. The application will now print "null", rather than the correct output. I tested this with an older NetBeans version with nb-javac as well, and in that case the output is correct (still "I am a constant."). -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: commits-unsubscr...@netbeans.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: commits-h...@netbeans.apache.org For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
