The platform application (Oracle Solaris Studio) displays the exception indicator just after any menu item is used. Here is exception:

on Windows a lot of automatic tests fails with:

Comment 2 Vladimir Voskresensky 2012-03-13 09:05:44 UTC 
150 failed tests.
Jarda, can you evaluate, please?
Comment 3 Jaroslav Tulach 2012-03-13 13:53:40 UTC 
Is there a simple way to reproduce the problem?
Comment 4 Vladimir Voskresensky 2012-03-16 12:10:56 UTC 
Jarda, the situations is following:
Stamps.produceRelativePath uses testWritePath in loop
        for (String p : dirs()) {
            if (testWritePath(path, p, "" + cnt, out)) {
                return;
            }
            cnt++;
        }
in case of 
path = /export/tmp/tmp/oss/lib/solstudio/solstudio/modules/locale/org-netbeans-core_solstudio.jar!/
and 
p = /export/tmp/tmp/oss/lib/solstudio/bin/../solstudio
testWritePath returns FALSE 
Looks lke ".." causes problem (btw, I have seen .. in "path" as well and then such jars are handled)

Btw, NbInstaller has own impl of testWritePath 
=> modification is needed in both places
Comment 5 Vladimir Voskresensky 2012-03-16 12:12:15 UTC 
(In reply to comment #4) 
> Btw, NbInstaller has own impl of testWritePath

the right comment is;
NbInstaller uses
RelPaths.findRelativePath which has own impl of testWritePath
=> fix is needed in both testWritePath copies if you can use the same
Comment 6 Jaroslav Tulach 2012-03-16 13:01:09 UTC 
OK, I am writing test.
