Description Jaroslav Tulach 2002-03-28 16:47:17 UTC 
I am working on issue 21676 and I have run the IDE with this patch
http://www.netbeans.org/issues/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=5081 and the
arguments described there. I have found out that following classes are being
loaded into the system on startup. Please investigate why they are loaded and
prevent that to happen. Thanks.


org.netbeans.modules.vcscore.settings.GeneralVcsSettingsNode
Comment 1 Martin Entlicher 2002-04-03 11:19:35 UTC 
Reassigning...
Comment 2 Martin Entlicher 2002-04-04 16:19:11 UTC 
GeneralVcsSettingsNode is defined in the vcscore module XML layer.
This is probably the reason, why it is loaded. It's used to present
VCS settings.
Comment 3 Jaroslav Tulach 2002-04-08 15:29:35 UTC 
The name seems to indicated that the class is a node. I am not aware
of any reason why a node should be loaded on startup... If it is usage of 

<file name="...instance" />

then try to also use attributes

<attr name="instanceClass" stringvalue="org.openide.nodes.Node" />
<attr name="instanceCreate" ..... />

or please give me explanation why this class is loaded into VM?
Comment 4 Martin Entlicher 2002-04-08 16:46:30 UTC 
The attribute
<attr name="instanceClass" stringvalue="org.openide.nodes.Node" />
really suppressed the loading of that class. However after this change
the "Version Control Settings" became unusable.

IMHO the GeneralVcsSettingsNode is loaded into VM becaused it's
referenced in the mf-layer.xml under "Services". It's used to form the
version control settings in the Options dialog. It must be a node to
be able to attach settings from other modules as it's children and it
must have a list of properties itself. If there is an alternate way
how to implement this, please let me know. Thanks.
Comment 5 Jaroslav Tulach 2002-04-13 13:33:45 UTC 
Please try to find out who is loading the class and why it is not
loaded if referenced just as Node.
Comment 6 Martin Entlicher 2002-04-15 18:14:54 UTC 
Well, this must be somewhere in the core. Because none of my other
classes are loaded.
I'll look at it....
Comment 7 Martin Entlicher 2002-04-16 11:23:30 UTC 
I've found the reason, why the class is loaded. The Services folder is
recursively loaded at the beginning due to the lookup. I've put our
node under UI/Services.
Fixed in dev build Apr 17.
Comment 8 Jiri Kovalsky 2002-04-23 10:51:00 UTC 
Verified in development build #200204230100 of NetBeans 3.4.
Comment 9 Quality Engineering 2003-07-01 12:56:26 UTC 
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
