Description wnichols 2001-10-25 15:06:53 UTC 
If you right click on a package directory and select >>tools>>autocomment the
dialog will appear but no classes will be selected for documenting.
If you right click on a class file the autocomment item is missing from the
tools menu.

I resolved bug which was sticked with win system and bug in 
serilazation in AutoComment tool. It carry some problem between dev 
builds, but this is not required to keep setting in dev. Please clear 
your setting or run NetBeans with different user dir, it will work 
without problems.
Comment 2 wnichols 2001-10-25 17:59:10 UTC 
Sorry to be stupid, but I just don't understand what you have said.
I gather that there is a project setting that I can disable/enable or
delete to work around this problem?  If so please tell me what that
setting is and where to find it.

When I installed the 2.2 beta I deleted my nbdev directory first and
did not convert projects during installation.  I then rebuilt my
project from scratch, (using the same source directories though).

I really need to do some java doc, but don't want to go back to 3.2.1..

Aha!  This happens because the surce file (files) are read only!
I think a more intuitive behavior would be for the AutoComment item to
appear in the menu but be gayed out, (inactive).

Change to enhancement request?
