Product Version = NetBeans IDE 8.0 RC1 (Build 201402242200) Operating System = Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64 Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_51 Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 24.51-b03 When trying to connect to a remote build host, I input my username and choose either password or key file it never actually connects and just continually shows the scrolling progress bar down towards the bottom left of the screen. I have left it for over half an hour and it never either connects or generates an error. The remote connections works fine via PuTTY.
Created attachment 146057 [details] IDE log
As I understand this happens when you set up remote host, right? So you aren't just able to add new host? I studied IDE log, but found nothing suspicious there. Could you run IDE with the following additional command line options -J-Dnativeexecution.support.logger.level=0 -J-Dremote.support.logger.level=0 and attach or send me IDE log? (Please note that it will contain host and user name, which you would probably like to strip)
Please reopen with more details (see my previous comment)
