see attached JPG file - it shows the navigator refusing to navigate an xml file because it is > 1MByte. These kinds of limits must be removed from netbeans - other examples are limits on 500 matches when doing search. REMOVE THE LIMITS or provide configuration. These limits are stupid - 64bit java, 12GByte ram -- that is 12,000 megabyte of ram. That is what my box has.

Created attachment 129867 [details] shows navigator refusing to navigate i have 12GByte of ram - don't limit file sizes.
This limitation applies to opening files in general using DataEditorSupport from platform. The navigator currently just displays the message of the UserQuestionException. I would consider marking the issue as an enhancement.
The issue is DataEditorSupport which is in org.openide.text package (but in openide.loaders module). Anyway this is directly associated with editor, so it is more appropriate for editor guys to deal with the issue. At the end the check in DataEditorSupport is there to shield editor infrastructure from problems. Currently there is hardcoded if (!warnedFiles.contains(fo) && fo.getSize () > 1024 * 1024) check. I can change it to read a property or increase it. However, as bug 223237 shows, sometimes 1MB is still considered too big.
