Description pmoreau 2006-04-04 08:53:39 UTC

Hi all,

I am coming back on a previous post in the mailing list from Olivier Richaud:

<<I have an issue with reloading the same model within MDR. For example, I 
have a class A and I change its internal structure. Although I create a new 
instance of NBMDRepository, the reload of that class will fail.

Indeed, in BaseObjectHandler, the default class loader is a singleton which is 
not recreated, so that although I have a new instance of NBMDRepository, this 
doesn't help. One solution would be to attach the default class loader to an 
instance of NBMDRepository.>>

For now, the only workaround is to shutdown the application using MDR and then 
reload an updated model.
It is core to us to have this issue fixed, and thought it was under way.
If you need help to contribute, please let me know.

Regards,
Pierre

I am closing all reports in category Java/Unsupported as wontfix. These should
be dead issues --- if the reported cases are against some live part of the
NetBeans IDE please reopen and we can discuss to which category they belong.
