Description ionuion 2013-09-18 10:41:57 UTC
Created attachment 140205 [details]
log, thread dump, mac os process sample

Environment:

Product Version: NetBeans IDE 7.3.1 (Build 201306052037)
Java: 1.7.0_40; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 24.0-b56
Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.7.0_40-b43
System: Mac OS X version 10.7.5 running on x86_64; UTF-8; en_US (nb)
User directory: /Users/ionuion/Library/Application Support/NetBeans/7.3.1
Cache directory: /Users/ionuion/Library/Caches/NetBeans/7.3.1

Netbeans 7.3.1 blocks several times a day (as of now the 6th time today) and each time I lose my changes (both file contents as well as open files in the editor)

None of the threads seem to be blocked. The program continues to use CPU, however not 100% like other user report in other bugs.

Attaching:
- messages.log
- thread dump
- process sample taken with Mac OS Activity monitor

Thank you

Could you please download latest 7.4 build available at 
http://bits.netbeans.org/7.4/daily/wdsjn742/2013-09-16_22-01-38/
and reopen if you are still able to reproduce ? Thanks in advance.

Marian,

I assume there may be many reason for the IDE becoming unresponsive. The latest version does block, but there may be other reasons. Should I reopen this issue nonetheless?

Could you guys find out what the cause of this was based on the attached logs? Can you tell me how I can find that myself for better future reports?

I am not sure what do you mean by 'latest version does block, but there may be other reasons'. Are you saying that you are able to reproduce the problem with the build linked above? If so, please attach the messages.log from that version.
 
> Could you guys find out what the cause of this was based on the attached

It is not clear what is wrong. Can you better describe what does it mean 'becomes unresponsive'? Is there a deadlock? Does NetBeans consume CPU? Is it temporary and NetBeans becomes responsive again? Do you have steps how to reproduce it? Can you try older JDK - 1.7.0_25?

>Can you tell me how I can find that myself for better future reports?
Once we will get answer to above questions, we can tell you, what you should try next.

Please find attached the messages.log for development version.

becomes unresponsive means the IDE doesn't respond to commands, doesn't redraw the window. It is only possible to close the IDE by killing it (Force Close under Mac os x). When the window is still on top of the screen the only activity is the spinning circle. It's dead man, dead...

> Is there a deadlock? 
As seen in the attached thread dump there is no blocked thread. In case you mean something else by deadlock, please explain.

> Does NetBeans consume CPU? 
As described, it does consume CPU, however in the range of 3-5%, not above.
>Is it temporary and NetBeans becomes responsive again? 
No. In 15 minutes after the issue occurs there is no change (neither in 7.3.1. nor in dev)

> Do you have steps how to
> reproduce it? 
As described, there are no steps to reproduce. It happens randomly. Each time I perform different things.

> Can you try older JDK - 1.7.0_25?
Yes, I will try and come back with conclusions.

Looking forward to it.
Thank you

This shows that you are running dev. version and not the version the Marian asked you to use (7.4 RC1).

> > Can you try older JDK - 1.7.0_25?

The problem looks like JDK issue, so it is important to test 1.7.0_25 version.

Comment 10 ionuion 2013-09-25 09:37:49 UTC
Switched RC1 to using 1.7.0_40 and NetBeans IDE dies again.

Attaching logs:
- messages.log
- Mac OS inspect sample (is it any good, I won't attach any in the future, unless you say it's worth it)
- thread dump

Environment:
Product Version: NetBeans IDE 7.4 RC1 (Build 201309162201)
Java: 1.7.0_40; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 24.0-b56
Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.7.0_40-b43
System: Mac OS X version 10.7.5 running on x86_64; UTF-8; en_US (nb)



Please tell me what is the term you use for these symptoms:
- IDE doesn't respond to commands
- the only activity is the spinning circle (under Mac OS)
- IDE doesn't redraw the window; once the application is drawn on the screen, NetBeans won't be visible again
- close possible only by kill -9'ing

I used 'unresponsive' and that seems to not be a satisfying term. I will change the title of the bug to reflect that, as well as use the term in the future when logging similar bugs.

What further steps can I perform when this happens next time to help you guys?

Thank you

AppKit thread seems to be blocked in sun.lwawt.macosx.LWCToolkit.doAWTRunLoop().
This looks like JDK problem introduced in JDK 7u40, since reverting to JDK 7u25 fixes the problem.

I never used those, but they might have been set by default or activated by mistake (e.g. pressing the Shift key 5 times or similar)

Comment 22 abien 2013-10-23 13:56:51 UTC
The problem still persists with JDK 1.7u45. It seems like the problem is getting worse after opening NetBeans preferences dialogs. I opened "Preferences" to adjust the "on save" settings and NetBeans "beach balled" 3 times in a row. Before that I worked for about 3h without any issues. 

Also it seems like my font rendering was affected after I opened the preferences dialog. However I'm not entirely sure here.

Correct. The fix on JDK side is only in JDK 8 codebase so far.

Indeed: I worked with NetBeans 7.4 the whole day with: 1.8.0-ea-b111 without any problems. NB was fast and reliable.

With cut & paste we would have a perfect solution :-)

log and thread dump

Environment:
Product Version: NetBeans IDE 7.4 (Build 201310111528)
Java: 1.7.0_45; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 24.45-b08
Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.7.0_45-b18
System: Mac OS X version 10.7.5 running on x86_64; UTF-8; en_US (nb)

Netbeans not responding.

The only difference from the behavior in the initial bug description is that NetBeans IDE redraws the screen successfully and no spinning beach ball is displayed. Clicks and shortcuts are ignored, however.

Attaching thread dump and log file.

Actually based on the thread dump this is a different problem. I have filed a separate report, see issue 237670.

(I had opened the duplicate bug 237480)

I just downgraded my JDK to 1.7.0_25, all is apparently back to normal now.

So far, so good.
Thanks!

Interesting – having tried 1.8.0-ea-b114, it seems the problems still persist for me (triggered easily by deleting a file in a project).

I noticed in the JDK bug tracker, it is listed as fixed in master. Does this mean it should be resolved in b114 or will it be part of a later build?

Thanks

It is strange: but the build 1.8.0-ea-b114 does not work at all for me. 1.8.0-ea-b113 was broken as well. However: in >=1.8.0-ea-b113 copy and paste seems to work, but NB freezes again. It seems like even we get copy and paste or stability but never both.

No the bug is still here with JDK1.7.0b45 and NetBeans 7.4 with patch 1. This is reproductible when you search on a reference (Find Usages ^F7). With JDK1.7.0b25 this is OK.

Right. The JDK bug will not be fixed on NetBeans side.

The fix on the Java side is in JDK 8 build number b115. It will also appear in one of the upcoming JDK 7 updates, most probably 7u55.

I've now been running for a week with NetBeans 7.4 and jdk 8 Build b121 from https://jdk8.java.net/download.html with no hangs.  This compares with a hang every 20 mins before I installed jdk 8.

Comment 50 rweaver 2014-02-19 00:09:50 UTC
BTW, I can reproduce this 100% of the time by doing a Git commit followed by a push.

Workaround for me is to close down NB after commit and then do the push which seems to succeed every time.

Message from push is displayed in NB, hang appears to happen after the push is successful.

Also noticed a couple of scenarios in the Maven properties that can reliably hang NB, not sure if they are related.
Comment 51 Antonin Nebuzelsky 2014-02-19 11:51:29 UTC
Right. The JDK bug is manifesting at various places. For now to eliminate the issue on OS-X you need to use the promoted early access build of JDK8 (https://jdk8.java.net/download.html) where the JDK bug has been already fixed. Later the next JDK 7 update 55 will also include the fix.
Comment 52 rweaver 2014-02-21 00:01:11 UTC
I've validated that this doesn't occur on Windoze with 7.4 or 8.0 of NB and current JDK

Also verified that upgrading to JDK 1.8 corrects the issue.

Thanks !

Majority of developers are using this software as it allows to develop desktop, mobile, and web applications with any popular programming languages that too free and easy & quick. And it is expected that some time it nor work fine and get some error while programming and such platform is best to share bugs and solution with experts and users to get feedback.
