Re: NetBeans and Git
I agree with John. Most likely a "compile on save" / "files watching" problem than something Git related. --emi ‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐ On 10 March 2018 8:12 PM, John Muczynski <johnst...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Owen, > > I see Brett is posting about the git portion of your questions.

Re: NetBeans and Git
Hello John, Brett, and NetBeans users. Netbeans is installed on my Dell Latitude E5570 laptop running Ubuntu 16.04. The replies you have given me have given me some worthwhile leads. Although the problem is annoying, it appears that post-checkout massaging has worked up to now. I am managing about 550 files of Java code spread over 5 projects (I'd say ~80% of which are exceptions). For the other suggestions, I'll get back when I've found the time to try them. If, by NetBeans cache, you mean ~/.cache/netbeans/8.2/*, I delete this as part of the disclosed backup/restore procedure. This makes no difference. The compile errors do not appear to go away over time. Thank you for your time, Owen.

Re: NetBeans and Git
Hi Owen, I see Brett is posting about the git portion of your questions. I'll try to answer some of the others. > I observe some compilation errors. > Is something being cached I also get this symptom when making changes to a large number of files in a project. I think the root of the issue may be the file watching. When lots of files get changed, the buffers get flooded. For me, this is the buffers in the operating system (windows !@#$%&). The result is that NetBeans doesn't immediately recognize some of the changed files. It does seem to go through a slow polling loop and eventually recognize all the changes, but then the symptoms here branch into two categories. 1. the red marks for compile errors go away on their own, or you hurry it along by opening one of the classes or doing a rebuild or whatever. 2. the red marks stay no matter what you do. 1. In the first case, I don't think there's much to be done about it other than a significant rewrite. The symptoms here may accidentally change with JDK 9, so I look forward to using NetBeans 9 with JDK 9 at some point. Part of this story is that classes seem to be getting compiled twice: once into class files on disk and a second time into RAM. Notice, for example, that if you do a clean and then a build that it doesn't speed things up. 2. In the second case, I do see sticky red marks that don't go away. Deleting the NetBeans cache does fix that. I've found it more helpful to delete the cache when NetBeans isn't executing. I seem to remember seeing people making a plugin for NetBeans for deleting the cache.

Re: NetBeans and Git
We would need to know more about your environment to help. Is it possible to share your codebase when the problem occurs provided it is not private? If you install git [1] and use the cli (git-bash) by issuing `git status` in the project path, what do you observe?

NetBeans and Git
Hello. I have been using NetBeans with Git (I moved my codebase from SVN about about ten months ago), and I seem to have some problems after I open a clean working copy. After I commit my changes, I sometimes observe that some blue cylinder embellishments remain next to some packages. I backup my .git file, delete the original, and restore it from backup. Sometimes, after checking out a working copy and after reloading projects into NetBeans, I observe some compilation errors. It seems that there are also some uncommitted changes, and removing these changes seems to remove the compilation errors. Has anyone got a clue as to what might be going on? Is something being cached in NetBeans somewhere? Thanks, Owen.
