> Whether or not my finding is really a problem I did not investigate, but the hits on the breakpoints invalidated the claim that it is save because it is only relevant if multi-file launcher is used. What I meant was that the root must first be discovered through a file. But I admit I wrote that ambiguously. > > Wouldn't it make sense to use the same approach as CPPLite? I.e. ask the user to create a "virtual" project? That way we could get rid of the hacks and use the "normal" NetBeans architecture. I don't recall any positive feedback on CPPLite (but plenty, plenty of negative). So no, forcing the users to create manually a project does not sound like a good idea, unless there are piles of positive feedback on CPPLite hiding somewhere. When I was doing this, I tried to create a project automatically, but a) it was extremely complicated; b) it wouldn't solve anything if the project was created automatically anyway. > > I'll be away from keyboard for the next week, I won't stay in the way of this, but it would be nice if new features (the problem exists since the introduction of support for source file launchers) would not break the IDE. While I am trying to not break things, sometimes I do, I am afraid. The only way how one can not introduce (new) breakages is to do nothing (and live with the existing breakages). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
