Steps: 1) Start NetBeans 2) Open projects 3) Right click on 1 project> Properties 4) Navigate to Libraries 5) Select one Library 6) Click Edit 7) Leave NetBeans for a few minutes. Now NetBeans is locked up and I must use Task Manager to close.
Observed this issue on a Windows 2012 VM
Mitch, could you please generate a full thread dump [1] taken when the NetBeans is locked and attach it to this issue? Then please reopen this issue. Thanks! [1] http://wiki.netbeans.org/GenerateThreadDump
I ran NetBeans from a console window as specified in the link. NetBeans locked up again when I edited a library (Note: several edits went OK but just now it locked up again). No thread dump appears in the console window, though.
The full thread dump does not show up automatically when the IDE deadlocks. Did you press Ctrl-\ in the terminal console you used to start NetBeans?
Yes; Windows responds ''∟' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.' no thread dump.
