Joachim Durchholz (jo-durchholz) offered a fix to the locking problem (entry #27). I had the same problem. It took several tries to get netBeans 8.1 started (using java-7-openjdk), and then it would lock occasionally when it was started (at the ...Starting Modules). It was finally working reasonably well when I tried to get the red, vertical line removed. After that, it locked up before the column for the red line could be changed, and did not load after that at all, after 4 or 5 tries.
I commented out the line in the accessibility.properties file, and NetBeans 8.1 has loaded every time since that fix (only 3 or 4 times so far). A benefit was that I was also able to change te excessive column to line 200, and the text box in which the column number was contained was now wide enough to see all 3 digits (200). I am just starting to try NetBeans now, so I don't consider myself an expert on this development system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenJDK, which is subscribed to openjdk-8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1510009 Title: Java 1.8.0_66 is extremely deadlock prone regarding AWT/GTK interaction Status in JOSM: Unknown Status in openjdk-8 package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in openjdk-8 package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: Since upgrading to Ubuntu 15.10 from Ubuntu 15.04, the various GUI applications that I run, including Netbeans and Minecraft have been suffering from dead/waitlocks which prevent them from operating properly. Since I have reproduced this issue these two completely different codebases, I am moving the bug further upstream. The original Netbeans bug report can be viewed here: https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=256124 Essentially, during routine interaction and calling of various AWT methods, somewhere between 8u45 (15.04) and 8u66 (15.10), something broke causing the application to hang intermittently when these methods are called. Some sample jstack traces are attached, the issue should be fairly obvious to spot.
