Description Jiri Kovalsky 2001-06-18 08:18:41 UTC
Development build of NetBeans #212 on Windows 95/98 with JDK 1.3.1.

Description:
============
There is InvokationTarget exception thrown each time user tries to invoke "Glo-
bal Versioning Settings" and it is pretty hard to set "Home Directory" property 
because of the same reason. For more details have a look at attached exception. 
Due to similar reason it is not possible to mount CVS filesystem because when 
logging into server it always fails with exception in Request Processor. Mount-
ing procedure is not possible to finish.

Steps to reproduce:
===================
1. Download fresh NetBeans development build and launch it on Windows 95/98 pla-
   tform with empty user directory.
2. Invoke "Versioning|Global Versioning Settings" menu item and watch exception.
3. Try to mount CVS filesystem and it will not be possible to finish.

Both exceptions related to issue #12948.
Comment 2 Martin Entlicher 2001-06-18 16:54:52 UTC
Fixed in dev build #213. If the home env. property is not defined, it is set as
System.getProperty("user.home").
Comment 3 Jiri Kovalsky 2001-06-19 09:17:13 UTC
Yep, I'm glad to confirm that it works as described in development build of Net-
Beans #200106190100. No exceptions are thrown and filesystem is possible to 
mount. Verified.
Comment 4 Quality Engineering 2003-07-01 12:55:25 UTC
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
