Description stefpet 2008-12-09 14:52:39 UTC 
When opening a large file (1 Mb in this case) the NetBeans IDE a warning dialog is displayed:

"The file <filename> seems to be too large (1 Mb) to safely open.
Opening the file could cause OutOfMemoryError, which would make the IDE unusable. Do you really want to open it?"

Followed by one button: "OK".

Either the wording of the warning need to change, or a Yes and No button (or similar) need to be added.

When pressing OK the file is not loaded, so the OutOfMemoryError never occurs.

Yes, I am experiencing this problem as well.

Netbeans also have problem in term of performance (very bad performance) when editing large file eg: xml file > 10 MB.
I know Netbeans is not an xml editor (but an IDE), because of my familiarty and preferred IDE, I often use NB to edit
large xml file.

The single OK button is still there in NetBeans 7.0.
Comment 6 Jaroslav Havlin 2011-09-06 07:47:41 UTC 
There are two buttons in the current build, and opening a file can be cancelled now.
