Description jessholle 2009-02-10 01:39:53 UTC

When NetBeans 6.5 is run under Java 6 Update 12 the "Attach Debugger" dialog shows up without any components other than
OK and Cancel buttons below the horizontal rule below the "Debugger" drop down.  The dialog is sized for these
components, but nothing is actually shown.

Even if this is a bug in Java 6 Update 12 (which could well be since the issue is not present in Java 6 Update 11),
NetBeans should work around this.  I just spent the day removing my preferences, disabling modules, and finally doing a
complete re-installation of NetBeans before finally guessing that this was a Java 6 Update 12 issue.  NetBeans needs to
workaround this to save others from wasting their time in this fashion!

The problem was just recently reported and we're working on a fix.
It's actually caused by a misuse of isValid() method of UI components in NetBeans.

This (and 158192) have been marked as target milestone 7.0M2?!?

This must be fixed as soon as possible in 6.5, not just 7.0 as this is causing great developer frustration in 6.5.

Comment 3 Michel Graciano 2009-02-11 18:53:38 UTC

It is already marked as 65fixes3-candidate, which means will be available for 6.5 in the time of patch 3.

Comment 4 jkilgrow 2009-02-24 15:08:37 UTC

also does the same thing on my 64-bit openSUSE 11.1 box

Verified ... and Closing all issues resolved into NetBeans 6.7 and earlier.
