example of crash

Hello, 

This is exactly the same behavior as in Bug 179348 which was related to NB6.8, all system windows related to explorer make java crash

I'm running a  NetBeans 8.2 and it suddenly stopping to work ... I suspect there was some kind of java update, so I tried to reinstall and uninstaller and installer both also crash...

After I start up the IDE, the IDE crashes (vanishes from the screen) if I select (1) File menu, Open Project; or (2) File menu, File Open; or (3) select Tools menu, Java Platform, Javadoc, Add ZIP/Folder.   It appears that any file selector box causes the IDE to crash.

I am seeing this with Win10 Pro Version 1709 (build 16299.19) - though it was exhibiting the behavior before this update. Same behavior with many JDKs:

jdk1.8.0_131
jdk1.8.0_144
jdk1.8.0_153

There is no useful diagnostic information in var/log - it just hangs at the file dialog. 

Any workaround would be greatly appreciated!
Comment 2 theshadow27 2017-11-15 15:22:36 UTC 
In my case, this was caused by a disconnected network drive (connection error).

Reconnecting the network drive fixed the issue.

Here is crashes when running the project (upload to server)...

It is indeed Java that crashes.

Running MacOS High Sierra

Happens to me too.  Is there anything I could contribute from the event logger?  I'd really like to get to the bottom of this...
