Description _ tboudreau 2002-04-25 17:17:44 UTC 
This error message has never been friendly, but in
build 20020425100, executing a misconfigured
source gives you a dialog that says:

"java.lang.reflect.Modifier.isPublic(private
static void
org.netbeans.modules.java.imptool.SettingsPaneLmain(java.lang.String[]))=false"

Yipes!
Comment 1 Svata Dedic 2002-04-30 14:52:49 UTC 
Sorry, what's a misconfigured source ? Something which has no "main"
method ? Wrong executor ? (which one ?)

Looks like I tried to execute a class that had a private main() method
- just a silly mistake.  But it would be better, when catching this
exception, to test for the condition (and also non-static main method)
and say something like "The main() method of this class is incorrectly
defined and cannot be executed.  The proper signature is..."
Comment 3 Tomas Hurka 2002-05-03 13:44:27 UTC 
Fixed in trunk. Check added to JavaProcessExecutor and
JavaThreadExecutor.
Comment 4 Jan Becicka 2002-10-14 16:15:01 UTC 
Verified in 200210090100
Comment 5 Quality Engineering 2003-07-01 13:16:42 UTC 
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
