Description josephmo 2012-04-09 21:45:35 UTC 
Product Version = NetBeans IDE 7.1.1 (Build 201203012225)
Operating System = Mac OS X version 10.7.3 running on x86_64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.6.0_31
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 20.6-b01-413

I am trying to change the Gems path for the Ruby plugin, but seeing that the gems are in a hidden directory (the .rvm directory), Netbeans will not sallow me to browse through the hidden directory, or allow me to paste the path in the dialog box. I have show hidden files set to on for the MAC Finder.

Hidden directories/files are not visible in a plain JFileChooser either. Feel free to file an enhancement request against Mac JDK.

I have a similar problem. Git client misses .hidden files, I just missed to commit .travis.yml.

Is this a bug?

If you're not looking for .hidden files using file chooser window then it might be a bug in the versioning system. Please file a new issue for it with steps to reproduce.
