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 Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1510009 Title: Java 1.8.0_66 is extremely deadlock prone regarding AWT/GTK interaction To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/josm/+bug/1510009/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
