Description achirizzi 2015-04-20 08:38:53 UTC 
Bug 242212 is still present in version 8.0.2

Product Version = NetBeans IDE 8.0.2 (Build 201411181905)
Operating System = Mac OS X version 10.10.2 running on x86_64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_67
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 24.65-b04



  try {
    // ... throw new OrmException("example");
  } catch (OrmException maybeSqlTransactionRollbackException) {
   Throwable cause = maybeSqlTransactionRollbackException.getCause(); // <--- Erroneous hint here
   if (ChangesOnSlave.retryOnDeadlocks 
      && (cause instanceof SQLTransactionRollbackException)) {
      // ...
   } else {
     throw maybeSqlTransactionRollbackException;
   }
  }

NetBeans will still say that the cause is ignored even if it's used in the following if.

reproducible

Integrated into 'main-silver', will be available in build *201505230001* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress)
