Bug 207579

Same behavior on 7.1.1. I'm also on Windows 7, maybe issue is related to that?

  Product Version         = NetBeans IDE 7.1 (Build 201201092359) (#216a3a96782e)
  Operating System        = Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64
  Java; VM; Vendor        = 1.6.0_30; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 20.5-b03; Sun Microsystems Inc.
  Runtime                 = Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.6.0_30-b12
  Java Home               = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_30\jre
  System Locale; Encoding = en_US (nb); Cp1252

Works for me on my machine. Is there anything platform (32bit vs. 64bit) specific? Have you tried with different JDK (latest JDK6, JDK&)? Thanks

Here's my info:

Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201202140400)
Java: 1.7.0_03; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 22.1-b02
System: Windows 7 version 6.1 running on x86; Cp1252; en_US (nb)

Same behavior with JDK 6 or JDK 7.

I guess the problem was caused by mixing 32-bit JRE on x64 platform (or otherwise). It was fixed in 7.2 by providing 64-bit launchers on x64 Windows. Could you verify it works correctly on recent builds of IDE (Note: NetBeans installer is responsible for choosing the right launcher according to Windows platform)? Thanks

I still

This still happens for me on 7.1.2 (NetCat) and daily builds. I'm running on JDK 7 32 bit using the zip distribution. So I doubt is 64 bit specific.

That's the problem, you are running JDK7 32-bit on 64-bit Windows. Run netbeans64.exe instead of netbeans.exe on recent Dev builds and let me know it's still reproducible of not. Thanks

I'm running on JDK 7 32 bit using the zip distribution. My Windows 7 is 32 bits, what's wrong with that?

Sorry I thought you are running on 64-bit Windows.

Anyway I cannot reproduce it on my Windows 7. In that case the only way what I can do is add some logging around code which invokes restart IDE and ask you to send back your log to allow me detect a possible problem. I let you know once such logging is available.

Allow me restate my understanding the problem:
1) Install NB7.1 [*] with empty userdir
2) Invoke Tools|Plugins and install available plugins
3) Chose Restart Now on the last page in Plugins Installation Wizard
4) IDE quits but _doesn't start again_ automatically
5) On start IDE manually the Updater splash will be shown and then IDE starts normally

Did I missed anything? Could you confirm that these steps (without any modification) can reproduce the problem? Thanks in advance

[*] http://netbeans.org/downloads/7.1/

That's correct. In my case there are 2 environment conditions that might come into play:
1) JDK and NetBeans are installed in USB (zip distro)
2) I don't remember if I select restart in the last wizard page. I know for sure it doesn't happen when using the icon in the task bar. It shouldn't matter but just in case.

netbeans launcher's log

Javier, could you run your IDE from command prompt with a switch for catch log of netbeans launcher and attach it here? It could show if a problem is in Autoupdate code or in NB launcher. Run netbeans.exe --trace launcher_output.txt and install a update. For manually restart call netbeans.exe --trace launcher_output_restart.txt then attach attach both logs. Thanks

Launcher DLL - additional logging

Hi, I was running NB on this config:

Product Version         = NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201204220400) (#837d69a29c6d)
Operating System        = Windows 7 version 6.1 running on x86
Java; VM; Vendor        = 1.7.0; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 21.0-b17; Oracle Corporation
Runtime                 = Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.7.0-b147
System Locale; Encoding = en_US (nb); Cp1252

and everything worked well. I tried to reproduce this bug several times on 64bit as well on 32bit system. Alsways with succesfull result.

So I would ask you to use dll you can find in attachement and replace the one in {NB_INSTALLATION_FOLDER}\platform\lib. Then run 32 bit launcher same as in previous case an attach here logs you got. Also please attach here the log file you got when running without any updates.

These logs should be useful for us and I thank you for them in advance.

Thank you for your attachments.

Today I have tried to reproduce this problem on almost the same config as you have: Win 7 32bit, Java 7u3, NB 7.1.1 (All zip distribution). All running from flash disk and everything worked fine.

Based on our investigation and consulting on Windows specific forums we realized that Windows runtime might suppress event about detaching NB dll which usually starts the updatechecking process we cannot fix it in our code. We are going to mention the problem in NB release notes. Thank you for your feedback again.

We are getting also emails about this problem from community. Libor is there a way to handle it better ?

We are finding a workaround of missing events from Windows runtime.

This behavior is very weird. I retested it several times on two different systems: Windows 7 Professional SP1 and Windows 7 Enterprise (with and without SP1). On both the JDK 7u7 was installed and the same NetBeans 7.2 was used (zip). On  Enterprise version it still works properly, every time it restarts perfectly. On Professional version the NetBeans never restarted (64bit version! 32 works well). There is no difference between used NetBeans but the application behaves differently. Due to it I think it's caused by Windows libraries. So several options appears here. We can report it to MS or we can try to recompile nbexec.dll with some new switches and config (like alchemy).

I tried it on Windows 8 Release Preview and restart also worked...

I want to ask you all to report here what version of Windows do you have, if you have Service Pack and if the NetBeans restarts or not.

Thanks

NetBeans never restarts.

Windows 7 Professional 64 bit Service Pack 1
Java: 1.7.0_07; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 23.3-b01

Do you have OBI?

Tried to reproduce it on Win 7 Enterprise 64bit SP1 (in VirtualBox) 1, 2 and 4 processors but restart worked. Also on Win 7 Professional (not as virtual) 64bit SP1 - worked.

Fixed in http://hg.netbeans.org/core-main/rev/dea8d4876cbd

Thanks to Ondra Vrabec who found the final solution.

I want to ask you all to verify this solution.

Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *201210250921* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress)
Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main-golden/rev/dea8d4876cbd
User: Libor Fischmeistr <lfischmeistr@netbeans.org>
Log: #207579: When updating or import plugins Netbeans asks to restart now or later if restart now is chosen it would not restart Automatically i have to click the shortcut to start Netabeans again so that update takes effect

Great! It works finally.
