Build: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200807290201) VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM, 11.0-b13, Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment, 1.6.0_10-rc-b26 OS: Linux, 2.6.24-19-generic, i386 User Comments: I have downloaded the PHP IDE and then I attempted to use a plugin manager to install all plugins from the Java category. Plugins seemed to be installed but after the IDE restart, I was notified that "Java Debugger" cannot be installed. Thus I clicked "disable and continue" button. This exception was thrown right after the IDE was finally started. Stacktrace: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Cannot instantiate com.dotfx.netbeans.LaunchAction for MultiFileObject@196a671[Actions/Tools/com-dotfx-netbeans-LaunchAction.instance] at org.openide.loaders.InstanceSupport.instanceCreate(InstanceSupport.java:230) at org.openide.loaders.InstanceDataObject$Ser.instanceCreate(InstanceDataObject.java:1258) at org.openide.loaders.InstanceDataObject.instanceCreate(InstanceDataObject.java:749) at org.openide.loaders.FolderInstance.instanceForCookie(FolderInstance.java:548) at org.openide.awt.Toolbar$Folder.instanceForCookie(Toolbar.java:1013) at org.openide.loaders.FolderInstance$HoldInstance.instanceCreate(FolderInstance.java:1029)
Jirko, evaluate and reassign as appropriate.
Caused: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException at org.openide.util.SharedClassObject.findObject(SharedClassObject.java:518) at org.openide.loaders.InstanceSupport.instanceCreate(InstanceSupport.java:216) Caused: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Cannot instantiate com.dotfx.netbeans.LaunchAction for MultiFileObject@94cc7[Actions/Tools/com-dotfx-netbeans-LaunchAction.instance] NetBeans cannot do anything with this problem, should be fixed in dotfx itself. FYI: DotFX plugin cannot be installed in any distribution (PHP, Java SE, Full IDE). I think it should be removed from Additional UC till the bug fixed.
Robert, do we know who contributed this plugin to the Development Update Center? Thanks!
Well, after a while I have found it myself. Wayne can you please look at this bug? Thanks a lot!
I do not have the DotFX exception. However, I do have the same problem as the reporter: the Java Debugger plugin fails to install on the PHP IDE bundle.
Is this issue still valid for the current NB version ? I believe, it got fixed.
dotFX can't reproduce this issue. For now we'll assume it is fixed in the latest build and wait to see if anyone reports seeing it again.
I am afraid the issue is not fixed. 1. Download a PHP IDE (zip) and start it with a fresh userdir 2. Go to Tools>Plugins, Available plugins 3. Right-click some plugin in Java category, check the Java category and install all plugins from the Java category (!) 4. Confirm the warning about an unsigned plugin (dotFX) 5. Restart the IDE as suggested by the plugin manager -> IDE will not start again, it just dies while the splash screen is visible
