Product Version: NetBeans IDE 6.5 RC2 (Build 20081104041628) Java: 1.6.0_07; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 10.0-b23 System: Windows Vista version 6.0 running on x86; Cp1252; en_US (nb) The Auto Detect action should not be invoked automatically until users select to do it. Repro steps: - starting ide from a new fresh userdir - bring up Platform Manager and only the default bundled Jython 2.5 is listed - close the Platform Manager - bring up Platform Manager again. this time my two other pythons 2.5.2 and 2.6 are now listed along with Jython 2.5 but I didn't request to detect them.
How is this a defect. The ruby modules auto detect my cruby on linux. That was the model I was following. is this wrong?
It's not wrong and I haven't compared to others. I thought that we don't intend to do auto detect because the first time I brought up the Platform Manager it's not there, but then it happened when I brought it up again. So, the behavior is a bid unexpected, perhaps call it inconsistent instead. If we intend to do auto detect, I expect to see it consistently so it does it too on an initial platform manager invocation. what do you think?
Was fixed at ln 187 of PythonPlatformManager.java The first time PythonPlatformManager is "touched", Autodetect is invoked automatically. On subsequent entry into PythonPlatformManager, Autodetect is not invoked, unless you press the Autodetect button.
