This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Create a J2SE (or any Java) project, connected to an SVN repository (or presumably any protocol type) and enable the "Compile On Save" feature. If external edits have been made to any files and the user selects Subversion -> Update, the updated files will not be complied automatically. Workaround: perform a "Clean and Build" after every repository update.
java guys: could you please evaluate? Thanks.
Since 6.8 beta, performing VCS update from inside NetBeans should force timestamp check on the affected directories, and consequently recompile any changed files with dependencies. For completely external changes (e.g. running VCS update on command line), you need to either do Clean&Build or Source/Scan for external changes. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 167098 ***
