After I installed NetBeans 6.5 and imported settings from 6.1, I found out that closing brackets aren't inserted automatically regardless of the corresponding option. It turned out that if I hadnt't imported the settings from the previous version (namely 6.1), everything would work fine. Though I've set priority to P3, I think that this is a serious malfunction because it affects one of the core features, it even stopped me from using NetBeans 6.5 until I discovered that problem doesn't appear if I don't import the settings. Yet I'm not sure which component is faulty, so when and if I find out some more, I will add some information on the subject. By the way, there is a related issue 154466.
Now I've found out teh cause and I post full information on the bug: Bug: standart Java actions (toggle comment, insert closing brackets automatically, fix imports, etc) become unavailable for any Java document if the first document shown at startup belongs to mobility project. Cause: class org.netbeans.editor.BaseKit registers actions for mime types during warm-up and during initialization of org.openide.text.CloneableEditor. If the first document shown at startup does not belong to mobility project (for example, it is a start page), java editor warms up, registers JavaKit actions for mime "text/x-java" and everything works fine. If not (the first shown document's kit is org.netbeans.modules.mobility.editor.J2MEKit), then CloneableEditor initializes before warm-up, registers J2MEKit actions for mime "text/x-java" and as soon as J2MEKit returns actions of NbEditorKit and not of the JavaKit, all actions specific for Java are not registered for "text/x- java" mime and thus become unavailable for any Java document. Workaround: restart NetBeans in such a way that the first shown page is not mobility project source. Possible fix: the most appropirate solution in my opinon is to return back to inheriting J2MEKit from JavaKit and not from NbEditorKit. Yes, I'm aware that there is issue 91730 and there was a fix, but now set of actions returned by J2MEKit doesn't include Java actions, and this causes loss of functionality if J2MEKit is used to register actions for its mime. If we choose not to extend JavaKit, then we have to ensure somehow that the set of actions returned by J2MEKit is exactly the same as for the JavaKit, otherwise the set of actions for "text/x-java" mime will vary rather randomly. I mark this bug as P2 because this bug causes significant loss is basic functionality of the editor and the workaround is not obvious, and I hope that this issue will be reviewed soon and included in the 2nd patch for NetBeans 6.5, as such bug definitely could alienate anyone who happens to work with NetBeans 6.5 Mobility.
This is definitely Patch 2 candidate
just FYI 1,QE is responsible for identifying candidates for a patch 2, SW is used for candidates (KEYWORD is used by sustaining when the fix is released in a patch) 3, bug has to be fixed AND verified to be included in a patch
Gentlemen, please fix/verify this till 14-Jan-2009, so it can be part of NB 6.5 patch 2.
Created attachment 75667 [details] Returns inheritance of J2MEKit from JavaKit
I've uploaded the patch that does the trick. Now J2MEKit is inherited from JavaKit, actions are assigned as they should be. Obviously, this returns dependency on java.editor module. P.S. What do QE and SW stand for?
Yes, this does the trick. I am trying to get a better solution, but seems they are some road blockers now. I agree, patch is fine for now.
As part of issue #155805, I have changed the registration of the actions, so that the "J2ME" kit should be able to use them. So, considering the actions, this fix should not be necessary. The changeset that changes the registration is: http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/9f98ff22d8ab
The issue hasn't passed the nomination process for 65patch2 by cut-off date. It has been moved to 65patch3.
I can't verify the fix until issue 158832 is fixed.
