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.
I used NetBeans for opening a pseudo-file (named COM1) and streaming data to an RS232 port. I was not able to detect any data coming out of my COM1 port (using a trusted circuit connected to my RS232 port). Also after choosing to delete my project it was impossible to delete the binary file that was created inside the project, named COM1. After executing my programm i noted that no other IDE. other than NetBeans, could open a COM1 pseudo file to stream data because of having permission issues. I used DEL command through command prompt in order to delete the binary file. Using classic deletion methods was not working. After deleting the file and restarting my computer I was able to open COM1 streaming files through other IDE's.
Hi, Seeder21, thanks for reporting a bug! You are using a plugin (https://java.net/projects/nbplugin-avr), am I right?

I'm sorry for leaving this bug unattended for such a long time. Could you please andswer some questions so I could try to reproduce this issue: > I used NetBeans for opening a pseudo-file (named COM1) 1) How did you open this pseudo-file? File->Open File? So it was unrelated to any project, right? > It was impossible to delete the binary file that was created inside the project, named COM1 2) Who and how created this binary file named COM1? Is what a same file you opened? 3) Is the problem reproducible with NetBeans 8.1?
