The OpenVMS JVM does not properly handle the ready method of InputStreamReader. Calls to this method block indefinitely preventing command output from being captured and processed. A patch will follow.
Lowering priority, P3 is enough to incorporate the patch to FCS.
I entered this issue because it appeared that the problem with our JVM would not be fixed in time for the V3.3 release. That was yesterday, today it looks like a possibility that it may be fixed. I'm holding off on a patch for a while until I'm sure this won't be fixed on our end.
Closing as won't fix, since the patch was not supplied and we're entering high resistance mode tomorrow. Reopen for future version in case you'll have a patch.
Okay, verifying ...
Created attachment 3633 [details] Patch for issue 17645 (no output from command-line VCS commands on OpenVMS)
Hello, I'm very sorry about the false start on this issue. We had received some hope that this could be fixed on our side before release of NB V3.3, but we now know that this will not happen. For this reason, I am re-opening this issue. I hope I'm following the proper steps for this High Resistance period. Here is the justification for the proposed patch: A change to the vcscore module made at the end of October has caused a situation where command-line VCS commands no longer work properly on OpenVMS. The symptom is that all output from VCS commands is lost resulting in an almost complete loss of command-line VCS functionality. We had hoped that we could have a fix for our Java product ready before the release of NB V3.3, but it now looks like this won't be possible. We are requesting the incorporation of the attached patch to ExternalCommand.java in the vcscore module. The patch should be low risk as it only changes the functional behavior of the code on the OpenVMS platform. This patch basically prevents all instances of InputStreamReader.ready() from being invoked if NetBeans is running on an OpenVMS platform. It has been tested using command-line CVS on Windows 2000 and on OpenVMS using a new VCS module I'm developing.
Thanks for providing the patch. I will incorporate the patch into the main trunk and release33 branch. Will also ask for the permission to include the fix into 3.3.0 release.
Fixed in the main trunk and release33 branch. Will submit a request for approval to 3.3.0.
Correcting the Traget Milestone. It's fixed in 3.3.1 currently.
Fixed in release330 branch.
Could you Larry please verify that the patch was applied correctly ? Use latest release candidate of NetBeans 3.3 #200112042300. Thanks !
Verified. Thanks everyone!
