I was trying to load a form in the matisse gui builder. Netbeans stopped responding to GUI events. I made a thread dump with VisualVM. In the dump seems like the "AWT-EventQueue-1" thread has at java.beans.Introspector.getBeanInfo(Introspector.java:157) - waiting to lock <0x000000001d7715f0> (a java.lang.Object) .... - locked <0x0000000006003328> (a java.lang.Class for java.beans.Introspector) and "GUI Builder" has at java.beans.Introspector.findExplicitBeanInfo(Introspector.java:426) - waiting to lock <0x0000000006003328> (a java.lang.Class for java.beans.Introspector) at java.beans.Introspector.<init>(Introspector.java:377) at java.beans.Introspector.getBeanInfo(Introspector.java:164) - locked <0x000000001d7715f0> (a java.lang.Object) Seems like a bad deadlock to me.
Created attachment 108519 [details] thread dump from VisualVM
seems that disabling the spellchecker solves the problem for now (not that I needed the spellchecker). It's a dirty workaround, though, I hope that someone solves the bug.
It is caused by JDK bug (that was resolved in the latest JDK builds). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 187697 ***
