Using 020418 on Windows 2000. After doing a clean install and new userdir, I noticed an exception in ide.log: Tue Apr 16 20:27:42 PDT 2002: org.netbeans.core.modules.InvalidException: Module[org.netbeans.modules.debugger.debug]: Dependency failed on package sun.tools.debug[DebuggerCallback] org.netbeans.core.modules.InvalidException: Module[org.netbeans.modules.debugger.debug]: Dependency failed on package sun.tools.debug[DebuggerCallback] at org.netbeans.core.modules.ModuleManager.enable(ModuleManager.java:477) [catch] at org.netbeans.core.modules.ModuleList.installNew(ModuleList.java:474) at org.netbeans.core.modules.ModuleList.trigger(ModuleList.java:418) at org.netbeans.core.modules.ModuleSystem.scanForNewAndRestore(ModuleSystem.java:26 3) at org.netbeans.core.NonGui.run(NonGui.java:524) at org.netbeans.core.Main.run(Main.java:213) at org.openide.TopManager.initializeTopManager(TopManager.java:120) at org.openide.TopManager.getDefault(TopManager.java:81) at org.netbeans.core.Main.main(Main.java:346) at org.netbeans.Main.main(Main.java:70)
The trace was from last Tues. However, the same trace occurs using a clean userdir in 020418_2 kit
This is normal. The old debugger implementation in the sun.tools.debug packages is no longer supported in JDK 1.4. During the first start of the IDE on JDK 1.4, the dependency exception is thrown and the "tools" debugger module is disabled. The standard JPDA debugger still continues to work. The exception is written into the log file only and has no impact on the user. Possibly the exception could be handled in an even more polite way, but I don't agree this is a P2 bug. Changing to P4.
See also issue #21441 ("Message about tools debugger not working shown at startup").
tools debugger has been removed from distribution.
Resolved for 3.3.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
