[ JDK VERSION : 1.6.0_07 ] I'm running Windows 2008. I manually hacked around one of my projects, and, during the post startup scan, I see the following exception being thrown: java.lang.AssertionError: Missing file xml_binding_build.xml for extension jaxb at org.netbeans.api.project.ant.AntBuildExtender.readProjectMetadata(AntB uildExtender.java:354) at org.netbeans.api.project.ant.AntBuildExtender.getExtension(AntBuildExt ender.java:186) at org.netbeans.modules.websvc.jaxwsmodel.project.J2seJaxWsLookupProvider $1.projectOpened(J2seJaxWsLookupProvider.java:95) at org.netbeans.spi.project.ui.ProjectOpenedHook$1.projectOpened(ProjectO penedHook.java:81) at org.netbeans.spi.project.ui.support.UILookupMergerSupport$OpenHookImpl .projectOpened(UILookupMergerSupport.java:198) at org.netbeans.spi.project.ui.ProjectOpenedHook$1.projectOpened(ProjectO penedHook.java:81) at org.netbeans.modules.project.ui.OpenProjectList.notifyOpened(OpenProje ctList.java:975) at org.netbeans.modules.project.ui.OpenProjectList.access$800(OpenProject List.java:124) at org.netbeans.modules.project.ui.OpenProjectList$LoadOpenProjects.loadO nBackground(OpenProjectList.java:348) at org.netbeans.modules.project.ui.OpenProjectList$LoadOpenProjects.run(O penProjectList.java:270) at org.openide.util.RequestProcessor$Task.run(RequestProcessor.java:572) [catch] at org.openide.util.RequestProcessor$Processor.run(RequestProcessor.java: 997) after the exception is thrown, the ide essentially is dead. It's visible, but clicking anywhere in the app simply gets no response whatsoever. you can try and close it, but, as they say, the lights are on, but nobody's home. the ide just sits there completely unresponsive. I have to use the windows task manager to kill the java.exe in order to close the ide. this is a major issue. even if there are 'problems' with the project definition, it shouldn't make the entire ide become non responsive. if I don't get it to display the details quickly enough, even the exception dialog box becomes non responsive.
this is netbeans 6.5 beta.
the assert is sort of correct. I've relaxed it to be a log message only though. it was an assert to prevent "developers" not "users" to provide correct data. However the fact that it hoses the IDE completely is not right.. http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/445e5c30d7f1 anyway, you can get rid of the assert by removing the -ea switch from etc/netbeans.conf However that could have other unforseen consequences as it's not exactly the same as the new behaviour.
Integrated into 'main-golden', available in build *200808220201* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/445e5c30d7f1 User: Milos Kleint <mkleint@netbeans.org> Log: #144658 avoid assert here, as the IDE becomes unresponsive otherwise
