Description Jesse Glick 2004-06-14 16:48:59 UTC

040611, 1.5.0 b54. Easy to reproduce. Run IDE on
fresh userdir. Now from a shell, type "netbeans
--userdir <whatever>". The IDE's window is fronted
- fine. "netbeans --userdir <whatever> --open
<somefile>" works too, etc.

Now type "netbeans --userdir <whatever> --hello",
i.e. some unrecognized option. Shell prints
"Ignored unknown option: --hello" as expected. But
now a 0x0 empty window is opened above the IDE's
main window. Empty (grey), can be resized but not
closed, always on top of main window. Have to
restart IDE to make it go away.

Presumably some bug in CLIOptions2 whereby
WindowManager.getDefault is the default "trivial"
WM in openide?

I think this did not use to happen, not sure when the bug was introduced.

Comment 2 Jaroslav Tulach 2004-06-15 16:05:23 UTC

No regression, just does not work on 1.5. Removing the problematic
code as 1.5 on KDE seems to switch the active desktop correctly
without this trick.

Comment 3 Jesse Glick 2004-06-15 16:15:46 UTC

OK, thanks. I did not think to check on JDK 1.4.
