This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
It would be useful if NetBeans would be able to recognize situations when a non-existing or non-accessible classes, properties or functions are used in the code. This should also take into account inheritance tree. This feature could be disabled from the editor preferences / Highlight tab. NB does already now some light code analysis by recognizing and higlighting if a private function/property is not used.
