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.
Please forgive if this is a duplicate. I downloaded 3.2.1 and launched a java project from a clean CVS. This is the error that I got. The support people for the other appliation say that's my environment. What do you think?

The exception trace has two parts - this and the immediately following exception trace (that later one, which is not attached, can identify the culprit). Could you please attach the missing part ? OTOH the external compiler was trying to convert a file within a JAR into java.io.File to pass to the compiler binary, but it's only a guess.
I presume you want the ide.log? Well, I tried compiling the application under NB 3.2.1 again, twice, to have a duplicate stack trace...but when I opened netbeans/system/ide.log this is what I got Version = NetBeans 3.2.1 I have copied and pasted ide.logs in the past but there's nothing in the trace. I've have made a tutorial of this (unfortunate) event. Maybe it will help you? I could send it to you as a viewlet. And the ICE secret entry to ide.log does not work ... cheers Dennis
The ide.log is in your netbeans user/system/ide.log directory, where the user settings are stored. If you use Win 9x, you may need to shutdown NetBeans prior to opening the log (winOS has some problems reading files, which are still opened for writing). What about that "secret entry" ?
I did as you suggested and shut down NB after completing manips. There IS NO change to the IDE Log! This is beginning to worry me now. Ideas? I know it used to work! And this xerces jar thing is beginning to bother me as well... here's the classpath set classpath=.;C:\jdk1.3.1\bin ;set classpath=.;C:\jdk1.3.1\jre\bin ;set classpath=.;C:\jdk1.3.1\lib\tools.jar ;set classpath=.;C:\argo\argouml\lib\ant.jar #;set classpath=.;C:\argo\argouml\lib\xerces.jar ;set classpath=.;C:\argo\argouml\lib ;set ANT_HOME=.;"C:\ant" set JAVA_HOME="C:\jdk1.3.1" I try commenting out xerces.jar as well but no change. the secret ide.log access? Just the faqs sir, just the faqs. How to display the IDE's log file When I submit bugs or feature requests, how can I have the log file accessible from within the IDE? There is a semisecret way to do this in the IDE's browser. Open the internal browser, and enter the following URL: nbfs:/SystemFileSystem/ide.log but it didn't work for me!
Then you're probably the only one who can't see what's in the log. Sorry for stupid questions but are you looking into the correct userdir ? What OS do you use ?
Hello, I can see in the log! netbeans/system/ide.log and here's what is inside "Version = NetBeans 3.2.1" almost nothing This is after playing with NB for awhile too! Something is definitely wrong. Win 98SE 512 RaM 800 mghz Any ideas? I've uninstalled and reinstalled already and I need 3.2.1 for my 3rd party modules... Poseidon UML (gentleware.com) please help! Dennis
Well, there should definitely be something more than almost nothing :-) since all such exception traces as you're filed here are copied to the log in addition to the exception dialog. Please open a console, go to your netbeans directory and execute "runide.exe" (not runidew.exe!). It should write some messages, with "System info" header. It will start with Product vesion and end with list of installed modules. There's a line "IDE Install; User Dir:" Please be sure that you're looking into a logfile from the second directory (the userdir). The IDE has to log its startup message in there and if you encounter ANY exception their stacktraces should be logged there as well.
I tried the runide.exe but being DOS I can't read much of it. I did a search for all logs. ide.log is still only showing version number. However in looking at the install.log I see something that gives me pause 'Version found in ide.log is not coresponding with versions in versions.upg file.' okay, so I searched for .upg and found nothing. I had 3.3.beta 5 installed before. I had deleted the whole netbeans folder before installing 3.2.1 so there must be some .dll or something lingering. perhaps, NB thinking that I'm using a different version doesn't know where to put ide.log? Either way, I'm still getting same old xerces error. Ideas? here's the install log Starting NetBeans 3.2 installation... Dialog installation. Checking requirements... Dialog sequence... Welcome...

Please, *do* run the runide.exe and *do* read both what's printed to the console AND what I've written. One of the lines, which are printed out quite early, so you may hit "pause" button to stop further lines to scroll that away, says "IDE Install; User Dir". I'm asking you to read that line because it clearly shows where the IDE *thinks* it should store the logfile. NetBeans are a Pure Java application - that means *no* DLL (except the mousewheel module, ok). There may be a key in the windows Registry, which records location of your userdir - the new installation may be using that. Note that the NetBeans' "userdir" is probably *different* from the directory where the installation, containing the "runide.exe" resides (or from is parent dir). Unless you locate and post the relevant information, I'll have to close the bug in day or two.
Unless there's more information (== stacktrace of the poblem, the posted stacktrace shows only a wrapper for the real action), closing as worksforme. It's not obvious which action has trigerred the error at all so there's no clue what to check.
Resolved for 3.3.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
