I've been getting a lot of "invalid manifest format" build-errors today, and I've noticed that after I get one of those, if I just restart my build, I always get the following build error (this one appears to be bogus): [jhindexer] Running JavaHelp search database indexer... BUILD FAILED D:\bld\orion\nb_all\jndi\build.xml:76: Could not make temporary config file --- Nested Exception --- java.io.IOException: The system cannot find the path specified at java.io.Win32FileSystem.createFileExclusively(Native Method) at java.io.File.checkAndCreate(File.java:1162) at java.io.File.createTempFile(File.java:1247) at java.io.File.createTempFile(File.java:1284) at org.netbeans.nbbuild.JHIndexer.execute(JHIndexer.java:122) at org.apache.tools.ant.Target.execute(Target.java:153) at org.apache.tools.ant.Project.runTarget(Project.java:898) at org.apache.tools.ant.Project.executeTarget(Project.java:536) at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Ant.execute(Ant.java:213) at org.apache.tools.ant.Target.execute(Target.java:153) at org.apache.tools.ant.Project.runTarget(Project.java:898) at org.apache.tools.ant.Project.executeTarget(Project.java:536) at org.netbeans.f4jbuild.RunTarget.execute(RunTarget.java:95) at org.apache.tools.ant.UnknownElement.execute(UnknownElement.java:124) at org.apache.tools.ant.Target.execute(Target.java:153) at org.apache.tools.ant.Project.runTarget(Project.java:898) at org.apache.tools.ant.Project.executeTarget(Project.java:536) at org.apache.tools.ant.Project.executeTargets(Project.java:510) at org.apache.tools.ant.Main.runBuild(Main.java:421) at org.apache.tools.ant.Main.main(Main.java:149) If, before I run the next build, I log out and then log back in (making no other changes), then I don't get the above error, and instead I get another wonderful "invalid manifest format" error (which is what I would expect). I'm logging this because I suspect the first error left my codeline in some sort of unclean state (locks weren't cleared, etc). I'm working on Windows2000 and I'm trying to build the Orion version of forte-for-java (in my private path).
nbbuild is right component for errors in build system.
Closing in lieu of a way to reproduce. File.createTempFile is supposed to make a temporary file. Apparently it fails sometimes. Beyond that, I have no idea, perhaps a Win32-specific JRE problem. Do you ever change the value of %TEMP% or anything like that?
