when I use the DB explorer to add a new connection (DB2 net), all works fine. The next time I restart NB, the connection is gone and I have to recreate it. The same with DB drivers not in list. When I add a new driver, the next time I restart NB, its entry is gone. I first encountered the problem with NB 3.4 MS4. I updated to Q-build 200205282200, but the bug was still there. Before I used NB 3.3.1 and all worked as expected. I converted my 3.3.1 user dir into 3.4dev
after resolving some file system issues (NB didn't have full access to its user directory), all works again as I expect it. I think Windows 2000 confused something on copying the user directories from older version and between different profiles.
Update from NetBeans 3.4 beta 1 to Netbeans 3.4 beta 2. It seems that the update solves this issue.
The issue is also there with NB 3.4beta2, and the changing of access rights doesn't seem to solve it really. I found another way to solve it, which was verified by at least one other person. Under "Tools -> Options" scroll down to the bottom where you can find "Database Explorer", now show the levels (press "+" or the "<<" button on the top of the window). If only the level "Project" is set, it doesn't seem to work. Now click into the "User" column and choose "define here" and accept the change. Close the option window, create a new connection (or add the new driver...) and restart. It should work now.
VERIFIED
Resolved for 3.3.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
