Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200911220201) Java: 1.6.0_16; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 14.2-b01 System: Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86; Cp1252; en_US (nb) -I have Opera as my default browser. I have Firefox and IE on my system as well. -open options dialog -select 'Internet Explorer' as the browser used by IDE -open some web project and run it -the web project page is open in the 'default system browser' (in my case the Opera) instead of the IE.
It works for me. Please, show me it on your computer if it happens regularly. Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200911220201) Java: 1.6.0_17; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 14.3-b01 System: Windows Vista version 6.0 running on x86; Cp1250; cs_CZ (nb)
It is reproducible on reporter's computer. If Internet explorer is already opened, it works as expected. I debugged it and I see the problem in NbDdeBrowserImpl. The case: -select 'Internet Explorer' in Tools/Options - check iexplore.exe is not running - open an html page in IDE - the call below returns byte array with values [26,0,0,0,-1] or [25,0,0,0,-1] but it should throw an exception. Then browser would be started. In our case browser is not started because not empty array means browser is already started (if I understand the code). task.browser.reqDdeMessage(task.browser.realDDEServer(),WWW_ACTIVATE,"-1,0x0",task.browser.getActivateTimeout());
I am sorry, I am not able to reproduce this issue nor fix this issue without a reproducible test-case (despite very good evaluation done by jskrivanek many years ago).
