This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
I've run into several exception tracebacks running the JDK1.4 version of netbeans 3.2 and have been too lazy to submit them. Odds are that I'm not the only one who feels this way. It would be very pro if netbeans had an integrated bug submission wizard that took you through the steps of fully reporting a bug, *without* browsers or issuezilla. In particular, it's too much to ask users to go find some ide.log file and cut out the exception info, etc. Better to automate that and increase the quality of the product by getting more and better feedback. Most users would be willing to type in a summary and hit send. That's about all you can expect, really.
Just one note, when you use jdk1.4, then use NB3.2 Merlin build #11.
Just changing the component type.
There was an contribution recently talking about new module in progress. This module will contain also bugreporting stuff. Please check: http://www.netbeans.org/servlets/ReadMsg?msgId=188863&listName=contrib Closing this issue.
