Using VirtualBox 4.0 r69151 on OSX, Windows XP 32-bit guest OS and NetBeans 7.0beta, I have the following stacktrace while opening a project from the Virtual Box "shared folder": java.io.IOException: ReadDirectoryChangesW failed on Z:\, handle org.netbeans.modules.masterfs.watcher.WindowsNotifier$HANDLE@714: 1 at org.netbeans.modules.masterfs.watcher.WindowsNotifier.addWatch(WindowsNotifier.java:333) at org.netbeans.modules.masterfs.watcher.WindowsNotifier.addWatch(WindowsNotifier.java:70) [catch] at org.netbeans.modules.masterfs.watcher.Watcher$Ext.refreshRecursively(Watcher.java:138) at org.netbeans.modules.masterfs.ProvidedExtensionsProxy.refreshRecursively(ProvidedExtensionsProxy.java:299) at org.netbeans.modules.masterfs.filebasedfs.fileobjects.FileObjectKeeper.init(FileObjectKeeper.java:105) at org.netbeans.modules.masterfs.filebasedfs.fileobjects.FolderObj.getKeeper(FolderObj.java:545) at org.netbeans.modules.masterfs.filebasedfs.fileobjects.FolderObj.addRecursiveListener(FolderObj.java:558) at org.openide.filesystems.DeepListener.relisten(DeepListener.java:95) at org.openide.filesystems.DeepListener.<init>(DeepListener.java:71) at org.openide.filesystems.FileUtil.addRecursiveListener(FileUtil.java:324) at org.netbeans.modules.mercurial.MercurialInterceptor$HgFolderEventsHandler.refreshHgFolderTimestamp(MercurialInterceptor.java:449) at org.netbeans.modules.mercurial.MercurialInterceptor$HgFolderEventsHandler.initializeFiles(MercurialInterceptor.java:559) at org.netbeans.modules.mercurial.MercurialInterceptor$HgFolderEventsHandler.access$800(MercurialInterceptor.java:407) at org.netbeans.modules.mercurial.MercurialInterceptor$HgFolderEventsHandler$1.run(MercurialInterceptor.java:416) at org.openide.util.RequestProcessor$Task.run(RequestProcessor.java:1418) at org.openide.util.RequestProcessor$Processor.run(RequestProcessor.java:1960) It might be a VirtualBox bug, but I won't investigate it further.
Do you have a stacktrace in a log file or VM crash?
The NetBeans stacktrace is pasted into the original bugreport. There was no IDE/VirtualBox crash per-se as I could keep using it, but it was inconsistent with regard to the projects so I couldn't actually work on it.
