Quite often, but with no obvious way to predict or clear steps to reproduce, the IDE will show error glyphs on java files that have no errors. The latest case was with a new IDE build, new userdir, and just opening an existing project. In this latest case, I found that opening a file with an error mark did not remove the mark, but that opening a second file caused the mark on the first file to go away. Repeat N+1 times to remove marks from N files. However, this has not always worked. I have also seen spurious error marks on folders when no files therein contained errors. These are virtually impossible to get rid of. Jesse made the following suggestion to help track this down: > This happens to me frequently. I do not know the cause nor how to reproduce.

Unfortunately, at the time the file is opened in the editor and it is detected that there are incorrect errors in the cache, it is too late to get a usable log (because the problem occurred during caches creation/update).

I might have a reproducible test case here. Use the script in issue #104508 to make a big source tree, then make a j2seproject from existing sources from it (use src/ and add lib/*.jar to CP). Open org.netbeans.api.autoupdate.UpdateUnit and add an arg 'boolean x' to getCodeName(); save. After a few seconds you should see some error badges as expected. Now delete the arg and save. Most of the badges go away - but not that on org.netbeans.modules.autoupdate.ui.UnitDetails. Open that file in the editor; it has a badge on the tab, but green box inside. Close it and the badges go away.
Thanks Jesse for test case. This particular case should be fixed by commit below: Checking in SourceAnalyser.java; /cvs/java/source/src/org/netbeans/modules/java/source/usages/SourceAnalyser.java,v <-- SourceAnalyser.java new revision: 1.16; previous revision: 1.15 done
New test case for you, found in 071101, JDK 6, Ubuntu. 1. With full NB source tree, build all, but delete nbbuild/netbeans/testtools. 2. Open NB and open nbbuild project. 3. Error badge will appear on project root node. Expand root node. Neither "Ant Tasks" nor "Tests for Ant Tasks" show any error badge (why?), but org.netbeans.nbbuild under tests does, and many sources show error badges there. 4. Open ArchQuestionsTest.java and CheckLicenseTest.java, the first two sources with errors. Both show error annotations on usages of NbTestCase. 5. From a shell, ant -f xtest/nbjunit/build.xml and wait for it to finish. 6. Switch back to IDE. The two open sources become OK - annotations removed, badge removed from editor tab, badge removed from Projects tab. But other files still marked with error badge. 7. Open CheckLinksTest.java. No error annotations (green box), but error badge on editor, and in Projects tab. 8. Open ConvertImportTest.java. Same as step 7, but now error badge disappears from both places on CheckLinksTest.java! 9. Switch tabs back to CheckLinksTest.java and then back again to ConvertImportTest.java. Now the error badge disappears from ConvertImportTest.java.
Is this still valid in RC1?
The test case I described on Nov 02 is still broken and easily reproduced. It is not clear to me if that belongs here, or in issue #102290.
The cause Jesse's last case is that the event that the nbjunit classpath root was created never arrived. The two changesets ensure that the creation/modification/deletion events for classpath roots are always generated (by use of FileChangeSupport). http://hg.netbeans.org/main?cmd=changeset;node=c132a3995ece http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/3b937d61c9a6
