Re: netbeans launchers source code location

[Gary Bello]

Thanks for the location info.

When netbeans refused to start there is no popup or error msg seen.
It seems that any errors detected/reported by netbeans launcher do not
appear in the netbeans log,
ie S:\Sun\nb\userdir\9.0\var\log\messages.log

Anyone know if there is a logfile that can be examined that is used by the
launcher ?

Thanks
-Gary

Re: netbeans launchers source code location

[Gary Bello]

I am using the incubator netbeans release versions.
each has etc/netbeans.conf configured with its own user dir, and cache dirs
- all different

i am running windows 10 64 bit,;

yes - i do build from source - but these were downloaded apache release
versions.

anyone with multiple versions of netbeans can also run the test - just try
to get 1 of each version running at same time.

Thanks
-Gary

netbeans launchers source code location

[Gary Bello]

Have noticed for some time that nb9, nb10, nb11 consider each version the
same when trying to run  one instance of nb9, nb10, or nb11 at same time.

In other words.
when running nb9 cannot run nb10 or nb11
when running nb10 cannot run nb9 or nb11
when running nb11 cannot run nb9 or nb10;

For all prior versions of netbeans from nb4.1 to nb8.2 can run different
versions of netbeans at same time - and I have done so many times for
various reasons.

Wondering where the source code that causes this behavior is located ?

I can run nb82 and nb9 or nb10 or nb11 at same time.

Thanks

Re: Cannot build NetBeans from source

[Gary Bello]

i keep multiple version of nb installed;
so i build nb git soure with nb82/jdk8 without issue;

you could build with nb10 if you started it with jdk8 i would bet.

Re: Cannot build NetBeans from source

[Gary Bello]

re building netbeans source;
i can always successfully build netbeans with nb82 - since it is running
jdk8 in my case;
when running nb9+ netbeans with jdk newer than jdk8 builds usually fail.

this seems to be documented - to build suppose to use jdk8;

i also would like to know how to build netbeans with newer jdk than jdk8,

2nd windows screen icon for nb9 shows nb82 shape/color icon

[Gary Bello]

main screen icon show new nb9 icon

i have windows 10 with 2 displays - 2nd display is extended from the main -
not a duplicate.

Both displays have a task bar that show icons of running programs.

I built nb9 from the master git branch - not the release90 branch.

This if from a build just a few minutes ago and fresh git pull of master
branch;

do clean, then build-nozip;

Re: NB 9 RC1 Updating Failes on Win 10

[Gary Bello]

I would suggest you insure your profile and cache directories used by
nb9rc1 are new for the initial startup
- do not use previous data.
check etc/netbeans.conf and see where the cache/profile directories are
located,
or in you netbeans use help/about and note the cache/userdir locations,
exit netbeeans, and then remove/empty those directories,
then restart netbeans and proceed from there.

Re: Questions about contributing code and developing on top of Platform 9.0

[Gary Bello]

I debug netbeans by adding to etc/netbeans.conf netbeans_default_options
string
-J-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,suspend=n,server=y,address=
127.0.0.1:61826

then run that netbeans and use a 2nd instance of netbeans to attach to the
address above
and set breakpoints/etc.

The relevant source code of netbeans is opened as a project so the
debugging netbeans
can show source for breakpoints.

one netbeans is used as the target for debugging and the 2nd for the
debugging.

Re: NetBeans user dir per release

[Gary Bello]

I keep multiple NB versions on each machine I use NB on. I even still have
nb4.1 on 1 machine and yes it requires an old JDK to run.
I keep separate user dirs. And edit each etc/netbean.conf file to insure no
compflict.
I also at times run multiple versions of NB at same time.

What ever you decide to do please don't break my ability to have old
versions and run different versions at same time.

The current nb9rc1 is still using "dev" as the userdir - it has not yet
been updated to something unique.
It should be changed before the final release.

Thanks
-Gary

Re: netbeans maven support breaks trying to build JGit source

[Gary Bello]

update  -

modifying 2 pom.xml in jGit so that can use maven 3.3.9 yields
successful build from command line for jGit.

maven 3.3.9 is bundled version in nb9.

building jGit with netbeans bundled maven results in same errors reported.

Re: netbeans maven support breaks trying to build JGit source

[Gary Bello]

The errors are NPE and the code that fails is building/maintaining a tree
to model the maven output for folding purposes
in the output window.

Also a command line invocation of maven works just fine without any
problems - its the invocation of maven from within netbeans,
where the problem occurs.

I hope that since jGit requires newer maven than 3.3.9 we don't ignore this
issue.

FYI I build Glassfish and Jersey with maven 3.5.2 from Netbeans 8.2 without
problems/issues.
I build many maven projects with Maven 3.5.2 from nb82 without issue - this
jGit is the 1st that has demonstrated this bug that I know of.

I hope we can update nb9 to use a newest maven or much newer than the
current bundled version 3.3.9 .

Perhaps I should see if I can build jGit with older maven 3.3.9 ? - would
require some POM changes.

-Gary

Re: netbeans maven support breaks trying to build JGit source

[Gary Bello]

Yes - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-457
is the bug I filed.

It was discovered building jGIt and have spent 2+ days trying to
debug/understand,
but I have been unable to figure it out.

The issue happens with nb82 or nb9beta or latest incubator netbeans git
pull/build.

A requirement of jGit maven config is a newer version of maven.
I needed to dnload a newer version of maven - jGit requires 3.5.2 (if i
remember).
and configure maven in netbeans to use the dnloaded version - not the
builtin,

nb82 has maven has 3.0.5 bundled, and current nb9 git pull version has
maven 3.3.9 bundled.

I am testing with maven 3.5.2 configured within nb9 current git pull/build.

Re: netbeans maven support breaks trying to build JGit source

[Gary Bello]

To clarify ...
I am not trying to have a build of netbeans make use of latest JGIt.

I am simply trying to get netbeans to open the JGit maven project and do a
build.

netbeans maven support breaks trying to build JGit source

[Gary Bello]

JGit repository https://github.com/eclipse/jgit.git

I have been trying to debug/fix the maven issue without success.
So decided to alert the mail list.

I have filed a bug report.

Just checkout the JGit master and try to build with netbeans.

The subprojects of JGit build separately with netbeans OK.
The top level build is what fails.

Thanks

Re: Possible Removal of SVN

I don't understand - It is available in my Netbeans 8.2 Team dropdown.
Perhaps installed from plugin - is that not part of Netbeans ?

nb9 beta

[Gary Bello]

Please correct me where wrong.

I have noticed when I get exceptions in nb9 beta or the build I make from
the git repo nb9 asks to report the error/exceptions.

Those exception reports seem to be going to the old netbeans location and
do not appear in the apache bug reports for netbeans.

Also the plugins seem to be coming from netbeans rather than apache.

When does nb9 begin to log exceptions to the correct location, and when do
plugins begin to come form apache location ?

Thanks
-Gary

using a self built incubator netbeans current git checkout

[Gary Bello]

Every few days I update and build current git repo of incubator netbeans.

I then configure to run with jdk9.

There are a lot of plugin options to choose from -
do we know how safe/reliable/bug-free the available plugins are at this
time ?

or which of the avail plugins should only be used at this time?

Recently I added a bunch of plugins and then noticed some problems - for
instance I could not get tools/options panel to open.

Thank

building netbeans with jdk9

[Gary Bello]

Using abt a 12/25/17 nightly incubator build with jdk9.0.1 yest build try
on current git update is not successful.

user.build.properties has permit.jdk9.builds=true

Should it work ?

Thanks
