This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
When I tried to compile my sources located on a share driver, I got an error "cannot read the file". Message from the compiler: error: cannot read: \Eureka\mabrothier\srcwin\java\server\com\shockfish\spotme\system\ejb\PhotoStationBean.java 1 error Errors compiling PhotoStationBean [LMod; 1.6] (spotme_dev_voting_patches). The file should start with \\Eureka\mabrothier..... It's missing one "\" at the beginning.
Please provide some details and steps to reproduce: how you mount the share drive in Windows, an example file to save in it, what you mount in NetBeans and how (e.g. using File -> Mount Filesystem -> Local Directory?), what you see in the Explorer when you select that mount, what you click on in the Explorer before pressing Compile, which compiler type you have selected as the default.
I don't think this bug is serious enough so that it must be fixed this late for 3.5. Changed target milestone to 4.0
I didn't mount the sahre on any driver letter. I used the full network name as "\\servername\directory...". I mounted the filesystem in Netbeans using File -> Mount Filesystem -> Local Directory. The name that appears in the explorer window is the path name to the mounted directory (\\Eureka\mabrothier\srcwin) The default compiler is I guess the JDK 1.4 that I installed before NetBeans. Hope it helps!
Moving to java model for investigation.
