Stack trace.

Writing any files to disk during start is inefficient and usualy unnecessary.
Consider using declarative registration in your layer.xml file, or delaying
the initialization of the whole subsystem till it is really used.
In case it is necessary to perform the write, you can modify the
'allowed-file-write.txt' file in ide.kit module. More details at
http://wiki.netbeans.org/FitnessViaWhiteAndBlackList

Jirko, I expect that some test in CV is failing. Would you be so kind and tell me which one?

Comment 2 Jiri Skrivanek 2012-05-14 07:05:45 UTC

I am sorry to not mention it. It is org.netbeans.test.ide.IDECommitValidationTest.testWriteAccess and results can be found here http://hudson4qe.cz.oracle.com/view/Trunk-QE/job/CV-multi-UI.
