Description jsinai 2002-10-11 22:56:28 UTC

I downloaded the 3.4 platform release dated 
9/27/2002, and while in the process of adding 
the modules I need, I ran into a problem with 
the Projects module--I tried both versions 1.8 
and 1.9, and I get a fatal exception "cannot 
have null root context". As I understand, it, 
this is the platform release based on NB3.4, 
so this projects module should work, because 
it came from my NB3.4 IDE installation. I'll 
attach the IDE log.

Jirka, please look at this, thanks.

Comment 3 Jiri Rechtacek 2002-10-14 16:40:24 UTC

There is a problem, IDE/platform finds projects tab to project module.
Because any project is not enabled then finds /Workplace folder. The
workplace folder is defined in core/ide isn't contained in platform 's
distribution. The fix is add workplace folder in projects layer. This
fix would make sense only as 3.4.1_CANDIDATE. In the next release will
be introduced the 4.0 projects. The patch will be attached, it's
usable as workaround for nb 3.4 platform. Fixed in maintrunk.

Thanks, the patch worked. It's interesting, 
though: I couldn't apply the patch using Tools-
>Apply Patch in the IDE.

As said Julian as previos comment, verified.

Comment 7 Jiri Rechtacek 2002-11-06 09:59:37 UTC

The fix is easy and secure. It can be merged to release341 branch.

Comment 8 Jaroslav Tulach 2002-12-03 09:55:16 UTC

Hi. This issue is marked as 3.4.1_CANDIDATE. It means that it should be
integrated into release341 one branch. The plan at
http://www.netbeans.org/devhome/docs/releases/34/index.html expected beta1 to be
produced on Dec01. That did not happen due to a lot of outstanding not
integrated candidates like this one. 

Would it be possible to spend few minutes by backporting this fix? Thank you in
advance.

Comment 9 Jiri Rechtacek 2002-12-03 14:02:25 UTC

patch applied in release341
