Description _ bharathch 2005-11-17 09:47:54 UTC
On Solaris 10 with JDS, nB menus and pop ups turn blank after the IDE runs for a
while (the actual durations after which such behaviour is witnessed are random).
No menu item appears on any of the context menus. The IDE needs to be restarted
in order to make any menu item reappear. The messages.log file (enclosed)
contains no error messages, but the message "[exec] ErrorChecker: null" appeared
repeatedly on the console window. Relevant screen shots are also enclosed. The
nB version is 5.0 dev built locally from sources.

On my Win XP it works correctly, it's specific to Solaris/JDS for sure.

Could you please test also SwingSet2 demo java app (included in jdk
installation) if menus are blank as well after a while? I tend to think
this is general java (swing) issue, not Netbeans specific. Thanks.

I was adviced by coworker that this is known problem with JDK in server mode on
Solaris, already fixed in newer JDK version.
For more information please see
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6208545

So installing new JDK should solve the problem.

JDK issue was fixed for JDK 1.5.0_03 - verified
