I'm running NB 6.7, 6.7.1, and 6.8 dev builds, all of them crash. I thought JDK6 is the issue, but we're experiencing same kind of crashes on JDK5 as well. Attaching log from the apple's crash reporter.

Just to add that the crash dump is from running NB 6.7.1 as it's not obvious from the log.

could you point us a bit more, please? What kind of projects are you running when crash occurs? Is there some action you invoke and you experience crash afterwards? Thanks a lot!
I am also getting this from time to time. Just now it happened when I was switching back to NetBeans from another application. I had a few Java projects open, a few NB module projects + one suite, and one web project. Here is my version info: Product Version = NetBeans IDE Dev (Build web-main-2018-on-091105) (#222a3267d8e1) Operating System = Mac OS X version 10.5.8 running on x86_64 Java; VM; Vendor = 1.6.0_15; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 14.1-b02-92; Apple Inc. Runtime = Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.6.0_15-b03-226 I am attaching the message from the console. What other information would help?

FYI, I submitted Apple bug #7282670. There's no new info in the bug though, they asked me to replicate the bug with latest patch even though I had the patch installed already anyway.
What I heard from people who are experiencing the crashes (pjiricka, mgrebac, joshis) is that it is happening totally randomly - can happen three times a week and then does not happen for a month, also it is happening at unpredictable moments, the only moment that some people saw it happen more often is when NetBeans is not focused and then gets focus. I will try escalating the apple bug mgrebac filed. Keeping open with TM=6.8 for now, but I assume this bug will be closed as WONTFIX soon with the link to the Apple bug. Please, add more comments here if you have some new observations.

Very good observations. The times we've noticed it most is when switching from netbeans to firefox for web development, so the on focus stuff makes a lot of sense (6 developers and all have this problem, although the guy on Leopard seems to have less crashes). I've never seen near a month, and nobody else here has either. My record is five crashes in one day, and I've probably topped out at 3 days without a crash. I would say nobody else here has had that many in one day (lucky I guess), but they've never had better than a work week. I really hope this can be taken care of, as it makes netbeans is very hard to use on a mac (having to reopen all your files for editing and having your project tree reset is very, very annoying). I really love the IDE too (admittedly I've tried Eclipse many times to avoid the constant crashes and find it's far too difficult to setup right). What I don't get is why is this the only java app I use that has this problem? I get that it's a JVM crash but can anything be done in the near term to address it from the program end? Also I'll add we've tried to do EVERYTHING. We've switched back to the old jvm, got rid of the JNI stuff (we saw it posted somewhere), and the crashes continue.
How do you view apple bugs? I only see a way to report them and view ones you've filed with them.
#12: As Apple is the most opened platform in the world, the answer is "You don't" (you cannot access Apple's bug database) My IDE crashed yesterday while I was editing a Java source code, no switching at all. The problem occurred when I repeatedly invoked code completion, which I did because I had the feeling that the list of suggestions did not contain an item it should contain... But maybe this is false lead... As I was on the train, I was unable to report the bug to apple using the Crash report tool.
> Keeping open with TM=6.8 for now, but I assume this bug will be closed as > WONTFIX soon with the link to the Apple bug. I would prefer to keep it open and waive it for 6.8, so it does not disappear from our radar and we continue to push for a fix on Apple's side.
An answer from Apple Java engineers I got through my point of contact: Users are seeing two different issues based on the two stack traces attached to this bug. 1) Crash 1: Thread 23 Crashed: 0 com.apple.CoreFoundation 0x00007fff83dba85e CFRelease + 30 1 com.apple.CoreGraphics 0x00007fff80dca9c4 textStateRelease + 36 2 com.apple.CoreGraphics 0x00007fff80dccd42 CGGStateRelease + 64 3 libawt.jnilib 0x0000000138bba718 -[AWTDrawableContextManager setupContextState:] + 1709 4 libawt.jnilib 0x0000000138bb9deb -[AWTDrawableContextManager getContext:canDrawDuringLiveResize:] + 400 5 libawt.jnilib 0x0000000138bbefa1 ViewSD_Lock + 163 6 libawt.jnilib 0x0000000138bc39eb Java_sun_java2d_loops_FillRect_FillRect + 296 7 ??? 0x0000000102c4f00a 0 + 4341428234 8 ??? 0x0000000102c50e58 0 + 4341435992 This issue has been fixed in an update Apple folks are just about to release. It is a duplicate of Apple bug 6610795. 2) Crash 2: The second issue for which the Apple bug 7282670 was filed is a hotspot issue, which Apple engineers have asked the reporter to verify with the latest update. Thread 22 Crashed: 0 libclient.dylib 0x498882 Chunk::chop() + 18 1 libclient.dylib 0x498864 Chunk::next_chop() + 20 2 libclient.dylib 0x59a283 HandleMark::~HandleMark() + 35 3 libclient.dylib 0x6b87a9 Thread::~Thread() + 73 4 libclient.dylib 0x6b8f9f JavaThread::~JavaThread() + 287 5 libclient.dylib 0x416f72 JavaThread::thread_main_inner() + 50 6 libclient.dylib 0x67f4f5 _start + 53 7 libSystem.B.dylib 0x947c1200 _pthread_body + 27 Martin, you filed 7282670. Can you please try the latest Java update from connect.apple.com ASAP and follow up with them in the Apple bug you filed? My understanding is that connect.apple.com contains a testing Java update which should fix also this Crash 2. And note also here, what's the status of that bug. Thanks.
I see. I got info in the bug that there's some kind of update ready, but they provided a link to a public update which I had already installed, so that didn't fix anything. So now I downloaded the latest update I see, listed as: Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 6 - 9M3113 (Disk Image) 122.6 MB 27 Oct 2009 and will give it a try, even though bug number 7282670 is not in the list of fixed issues. Would you please check if I'm using the right update? Thanks. Since the issue is undeterministic I'd have to use it more to assure the crashes are really fixed.
> Would you please check if I'm using the right update? I have an answer from the guys: "The latest preview we have on ADC seems to be a month old unfortunately, but it would be good to know if it fixes the problem." Martin, can you run with the update for a day or two and let me know here if it seems to be stable? If you encounter the crash again, I will ask them to provide a new update as soon as possible.
OK, now my IDE crashed like 3 times in 5 minutes. I was developing a small demo project for a NetBeans user and I run it very often to do small incremental fixes. I just did some change of number (5 to 10, for example), I run the app, then I was dissatisfied, so I closed the app, changed 10 to 7, run it again... over and over again... Attaching the project

Run the above project quickly after each run, change the location of drawn text before each run...
Not reproducible with a fresh userdir... Maybe it is related to the classes cache accessing (before I deleted userdir, my cache dir must have been quite large)?
Installing the latest Java update preview from connect.apple.com has fixed it for me!
I installed the patch from apple and so far running for about a week without crash. Hopefully this is fixed.
capdog, martin, thanks for the confirmation! I believe now the issue can be closed as WONTFIX with the note that it is not fixed in NetBeans code but in Apple's JDK. For reference - the bugs in Apple bug database are #6610795 and #7282670.
I can confirm that it works for me as well with the new JVM. It's been so nice to have a working IDE again.
