This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
[ BUILD # : 201109180600 ] [ JDK VERSION : 1.7 ] Step to reproduce : 1 - Open a ant script node in File window. 2 - Right-click on a target 3 - Click on a "Create shortcut..." 4 - Check the "Add a Toolbar button" checkbox and click on "Next" 5 - Select the "&Run" toolbar and enter a shortcut name Result : The shortcut does not appear in the toolbar.
Actually this bug only happens the first time you open NetBeans after installing.
After enabling Java feature and asking to add the shortcut, the registering file is indeed created, it is just not displayed until after you restart. Somehow AntActionInstance is not immediately functional.
This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue. Thanks for your cooperation, NetBeans IDE 8.2 Release Boss
