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.
Current parser engine has some unacceptable aspects - bad error recovery scheme, unnecessary memory and CPU requirements. It is also closed-source and the implementation is not thread-safe. Parsing is mutually exclusive with compiling using Internal Compiler.
These issues have been reported to be part of Sun's "should have" contribution to NetBeans 4.0 and be "high level" issues. That is why I am changing them to be FEATUREs with P2. If you think I've done wrong change, please update the issue and internal documents.
It is "nice to have" feature.
target milestone -> TDB (removed from 4.0)
