Thanks for a great test case causing the OS notification queue overflow. The fix will be two-part: *) correctly forward the overflow event to the infrastructure (and prevent NPE) *) Do a full refresh of all the registered folders.
The NPE part is fixed: http://hg.netbeans.org/core-main/rev/205206707791 The overflow handling is filed as: 190470
Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *201009220000* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/205206707791 User: Petr Nejedl
