Description ghlaw 2002-11-27 10:06:09 UTC 
The Locale of My Windows 2000 is Chinese (Taiwan), but I 
still prefer to have NetBeans in English (US), so I 
modified the ide.cfg file according to the help file.

This is the content of my ide.cfg:

-jdkhome C:\j2sdk1.4.0_02 -J-Xverify:none -J-Xms60m -J-
Xmx128m -locale en:us


After setting this, the IDE started in en_US, which is what 
I wanted, but after a while I noticed that it's no more 
possible to open a file in NetBeans from Windows Explorer.

I got an Information Dialog telling me:

"C:\dev\MyProject\src\net\dcx\test\gui\-locale does not 
exist, or is not a plain file."


I tried to remove "-locale en:us" from my ide.cfg, and I 
was able to open file from Windows Explorer again.

Probably fixed in a NetBeans development build, since the Open File
invocation code was rewritten - follow status of issue #36046 (Windows
launcher changes accommodating new architecture).
