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.
[ JDK VERSION : 1.7.0_45 ] STEPS: 1) Have project with ./lib/A.jar linked relatively via Project->Libraries->Add JAR/Folder. 2) All java sources of project compile successful ==> no error badges. 3) Externally replace the jar by a same named A.jar with little differences (e.g. renamed methods). 4) Manually compile a single java file which does no more compile. ACTUAL: 3) No error badges showing that some files do not compile. 4) Compile errors in Output pane, but again no error badges showing that some files do not compile. EXPECTED: At least after manual compile with errors, error badges should appear.
This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue. Thanks for your cooperation, NetBeans IDE 8.2 Release Boss
