Description Jesse Glick 2004-05-26 13:46:34 UTC

Happened to me three times in a row in my user
dir; not otherwise sure how to reproduce. JDK
1.5b51, trunk build.

Thread dump should make it clear. VCS stuff must
not block waiting for a dialog to be shown in the
middle of some random method. (No dialog *is* shown.)

Comment 2 Jesse Glick 2004-05-26 13:53:11 UTC

After deleting my $userdir/config/VCSMount/*.xml, IDE starts up OK.
Curiously, my mounts are still there. ??

Comment 3 Martin Entlicher 2004-05-26 14:03:26 UTC

This is a warning that is displayed when a non-existing filesystem
property is to be set from a variable. One FS property was removed
recently. When you have CVS filesystem from an older build, which
stores the whole set of variables, you encounter this problem.

The fix would be to present the dialog from a new thread, since the
DialogDisplayer does not have non-blocking notification.

Fixed in trunk:
