I've been developing a simple text game on netbeans since about the initial beta of 3.3. While running, I often have to terminate the process from the execution window. This was working fine up until the release candidate and before I could confirm the problem, the final came out. Sorry. here's the overview: Running the program, and the ide under JDK 1.4.0 Beta 3 on Linux Red Hat 7.2 when the program is running normall, and the right-click option of "Terminate Process" is selected in the execution window (multi-window config for the IDE), the ide spawns an infinite number of JDKs and never returns. The only way to stop this is to hard-kill the IDE and all the spawned JDKs. This *seems* to have been introduced around the time of the release candidate. I've been running on 1.4 Beta JDKs since I started for mouse scrolling support and general GUI speed up. Sorry, but that's all the info I've got on this one.
I saw this happen with jdk 1.4 beta3 on Linux. IMO definitely a bug in the JVM. It's not related to killing process but rather the clipboard code in JVM which is triggered indirectly when the IDE kills an external process. We cannot do anything in NetBeans code. If we'll be able to create a testcase, we'll file a bug against JDK 1.4.
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> verified.
