Execution of the CVS diff command (Gui style) from the Explorer View right click menu produces a window with no contents. The caption on the empty diff output window reads: CVS Output [?] I tried entering different combinations of Revision number to generate output, but to no avail. Steps to repeat: Select CVS file from Explorer view, I select a CVS object
Can you please provide us with version of JDK you use ? Thanks. Can you attach some screenshot ? I know we had problems like this in the past ...
I have 3.4.1 (SDI mode) on linux, jdk 1.4.1 and it happens to me sometimes as well, the only thing that helps is to restart. It's completely random AFAIK, happens imho more frequently with cvs log then with diff.

Milos is correct. As it turns out I restarted the IDE, executed CVS diff and correct output appeared. I think the error may be related to adding a CVS Filesystem, and accessing it without restarting Netbeans, maybe a first use initialisation problem. My java version is: java version "1.4.0_02" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0_02-b02) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0_02-b02, mixed mode) I have attached a snapshot. Regards, Mark. PS. The product is great!

This is probably some problem of NetBeans' window system. It was already reported in the past, see issue #26811. If the problem persists in current builds, please reopen that issue. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 26811 ***
Upgraded to 3.5 RC1 and diff appears ok.
