Hi, This issue seems to be OS/2-specific.. For months now I've been getting: ANNOTATION: Root d:\java131\jre\classes does not exist. alongside all the exceptions that pop up. I would like to correct this assumption because under OS/2, that path will _never_ exist for JDK 1.3.1. Can someone please track down why 'classes' is needed and what happens if its missing? Thanks, Gili
That "someone" will probably be you, if it is OS/2 specific, since no one else will be able to reproduce. Suspect some problem with the Java compiler getting a bogus classpath entry - TBD why, or why it does not gracefully ignore it. Probable workaround: make this (empty) directory.
I'm more than willing to track down any OS/2-specific stuff on my end, but first I need to know where in the Netbeans code this actually comes from. Specifically, which variable is Netbeans trying to access that it gets d:\java131\jre\classes or is this some built-in fixed constant?
Please attach the actual exception(s).
Until I can see the entire stacktrace, closing as WORKSFORME. Without that I could found only one place in Java module where this could happen, but the error message is different (it reads "WARNING: <root path> cannot be opened"), and the string is not reported as an exception, rather only log to the logfile with INFORMATIONAL severity. So your message is likely to come from some other location.
