Description alexmilowski 2009-01-06 16:17:24 UTC 
In the preferences setting for 'files', if you try to add a new extension and associated media type, the dialog box does not enable the 'ok' button nor is there 
any other way to "add" the new extension.  As a result, the IDE does not understand the new association of extension to media type.
Comment 1 Peter Pis 2009-01-06 20:04:08 UTC 
Reassigning to platform for further evaluation.
Comment 2 Jiri Skrivanek 2009-01-07 08:09:09 UTC 
Please, add details (screenshot, JDK, IDE version, steps to reproduce). Which dialog box doesn't enable OK button? Enter
New FIle Extension dialog?
Comment 3 alexmilowski 2009-01-07 15:46:44 UTC 
It is the "Netbeans Preferences" dialog.

1. Open 'Preferences' via the 'Preferences' menu item under the 'Netbeans' menu (on the mac).

2. Click on 'Miscellaneous'.

3. Click on 'Files'.

4. Click on the 'New' button.

5. Enter 'xul'.

6. Choose the application/xml media type.

The 'OK' button does not get enabled.

I did that about 5 times yesterday and it didn't work.  Today, Wednesday, it decides to work.  Makes no sense.

isn't it duplicate of issue 145569?
Comment 5 Jiri Skrivanek 2009-01-08 07:32:01 UTC 
Yes. Please, go to Tools>Plugins and apply patch1 for NetBeans 6.5.
