AfterRestartExceptions

This morning I started up Netbeans and it hung. This happens quite often usually when the cache size gets up to 1.26GB in size. In the log I can see that there is a deadlock somewhere.

I know I can around this by removing the cache in 'Local' and remove the '8.1' directory in 'Roaming', but if I do that, Netbeans hangs immediately on the welcome screen. I can then kill the application and restart again and eventually it will work again, but only for a week or so when the whole ritual starts again.

Attached is the information from the logs directory.

Note that I am on a company network and behind a proxy.

Can you please attach  C:\Users\wku\AppData\Local\Temp\deadlock9159066787282585259.txt if it still exist?


Thanks

The file you requested no longer exists. I received a tip from someone on a Java forum to start Netbeans with a different Garbage Collector algorithm (-J-XX:+UseGIGC). I adjusted netbeans.conf for this. Netbeans now seams stable.

Seems there was acceptable workaround found by user. Closing
