Created attachment 92782 [details] screenshot When doing a right click on a project, sometimes there appears an empty entry below "properties" (as shown in the screenshot). This appeared with different types of projects (NetBeans Modules, Java Projects, JavaFX Projects,...). This also doesn't appear in a periodic way, but while working with the IDE it appears still often.
Hmmm... yes - this is the result of the Kenai action "lazy-check"... Basically, if you invoke the popup menu for the first time on given project (only for the first time), an item "Checking for Kenai support" shows up (background action is started at the same time) and it is hidden after the Kenai support is not found on the project (or replaced by the Kenai submenu if the project is hosted on Kenai). This is why there is the empty space (one item of the menu is hidden)... Problem is that the check for the Kenai support takes some time (the check for the repository URL can take up to 3 seconds, according to VCS guys) and thus it is not possible to do the check synchronously (you would not see the empty space but you would wait up to 3 seconds for the popup menu for the first time). So there are 3 possibilities: - get rid of Kenai actions on the Project node (separate the functionality in a separate module Kenai Extras, for example?) - leave it as it is and close the issue - do a synchronous check, risking the action takes longer for the very first time I don't see any other options... Stando, is there a nice way to show an item in the projects popup menu if it takes long to determine the item's state? Can you please check your JDK version? Just copy the info from "Help>About" here... Thank you.
Honzo, any ideas?
