Michael Bien commented on NETBEANS-5292: ---------------------------------------- > 3) to be added even new feature to reset all Hints to default removing this folder will reset the hint config ~/.netbeans/12.6/config/Preferences/org/netbeans/modules/java/hints > 5) "Background scanning of projects..." is even running for minutes with > nb-javac installed this is going to happen every time the javac version changes. If nb-javac is installed its 17, if you turn it off and start on 11... it will have to reindex everything. > To me it seems that nb-javac brings more issue than save well. nb-javac is required if you run on old JDKs. If JDK 17 would be the baseline there would not be a need for it, at least until JDK 18+ is released. the first rc of NB 13 should be available this week. It has many fixes in that area and an updated nb-javac based on JDK 17 installed by default. > nb-javac is source of several issues > ------------------------------------ > > Key: NETBEANS-5292 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-5292 > Project: NetBeans > Issue Type: Bug > Components: java - Compiler, java - Editor, java - Hints, platform - > Action Items > Affects Versions: 11.3, 12.2, 12.4 > Environment: Gradle 6.8.1 > Possibly any JDK version 11 > nb-javac installed > Reporter: Netbeans User 2019 > Priority: Critical > Labels: hints, nbjavac, nbjavac-impl.jar > > There are several issue reporting NullPointerException and in logs even > several related to hints (In context of Tools > Options > Editor > Hints). > So my suggestions are: > 1) to be deactivated all hints and retested with and with and without > nb-javac as seems that many issue like this is connected nb-javac, but It > could be even possible that hints are not revised at all from start and even > it is possible that could be ticked to run by import from prior version of > Netbeans, but it could be unsupported in new version. > 2) turn off of nb-javac does not fix issues like these, because it seems that > that states is ignored and nb-javac is still somehow in use ... so only > option is to uninstalled completely (so to see in notification request for > installation) - so it has to be fixed that if it is inactivated should not be > used > 3) to be added even new feature to reset all Hints to default > 4) seems that even some of such failure (even reported as race condition) > that leads to cases that it is not finished indexing so particular classes > are not index so even not visible by dialog to of types and in java editor is > represented as errors and there is not way to removed that reds, because > there are no way to tell to Apache Netbeans that such class is existing and > it is correct. > 5) "Background scanning of projects..." is even running for minutes with > nb-javac installed > Even if it is not done in minor version I would like to see it in major > version fixed. > To me it seems that nb-javac brings more issue than save -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.1#820001) --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
