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.
In a project group 3 out of 6 projects are shown as "changed" after a NB restart: 2 Web-Projects and 1 EJB-Project. Files shown as changed in one of the web projects: ant-deploy.xml build-gwt.xml build-impl.xml genfiles.properties project.xml in the ejb project following files are marked as changed: ant-deploy.xml build-impl.xml genfiles.properties project.xml After "refresh status" in the CVS view all "changed" statuses are cleared.
My guess is that Web projects module just touches those files but does not actually modify them. Please evaluate.
Yes, these files are potentially regenerated after IDE startup without actually changing anything in the files itself. Is that a problem?
it's not a big problem, but you have to check for possible changes before creating a branch or just to make sure that changes in all projects that belong together are committed. it's annoying.
Implementing issue 134642 should eliminate regeneration of most of the files apart from ant-deploy.xml. Passing to petrh to evaluate why ant-deploy.xml is always regenerated and whether something could be done about it.
