Description smccrimmon 2003-08-25 20:49:17 UTC 
I've seen some discussions suggesting that this may have 
something to do with the length of the compile argument. I 
tried removing all classpath info to shorten the argument 
but to no avail.

are you sure that you have fastjavac installed?  This compiler has
been removed from standard distro in NB 3.5 and is available only from
the update center.  If the executable is not there then indeed you get
IOException from JVM.

Please attach your <userdir>/system/ide.log file

Comment 4 smccrimmon 2003-08-26 14:47:14 UTC 
The netbeans version is actually 3.5.1 (no pull down option 
for this) and it came with fastjavac. In addition i was 
able to reproduce the error with Jikes and the default 
external compiler.

Hope this helps.
Comment 5 _ ttran 2003-08-26 21:44:40 UTC 
I've looked at the exception trace again, it says

java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: {fastjavacBinary} -g -O -d
U:\tomcat\regulated\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes .....

It seems the placeholder {fastjavacBinary} is not replaced with the
real executable.

Reassign to the java module for investigation, likely not a bug in
core/openide.
Comment 6 Tomas Zezula 2003-08-27 14:29:31 UTC 
The NB4.0 has completely different compilation system and neither
fastjavac nor jikes is supported in it.
Comment 7 Jan Becicka 2004-07-02 00:44:42 UTC 
This issue is INVALID for promo-D since the build system is ant-based.
