java error log

Lots of CND tests started to fail on windows because of java fatal error after WindowsNotifier was introduced, see log attached
Comment 1 Petr Nejedly 2010-09-22 08:19:05 UTC 
Can you reproduce (at least randomly) during an IDE run, or only in the tests?
Comment 2 Egor Ushakov 2010-09-22 09:06:26 UTC 
we do not use IDE on windows that frequently, but tests failures are rather stable. I can add any logging you'd need.
Comment 3 Petr Nejedly 2010-09-22 15:15:25 UTC 
There was a huge problem when the watcher thread was started before registering any paths for listening (like in case you started with new userdir). This lead to a livelock with a potential of exhausting system resources.
I have delayed starting the thread until after the first watched folder and it fixed the behavior for me.

I believe it should fix your problems as well.
