Development build #200311251900 of NetBeans 4.0 Windows 2000 with JDK 1.4.2_02 Description: ============ Trying to invoke help throws bunch of exceptions into console if this happens for the first time in the IDE session. Next time it is okay. I selected this component since it complains about inability to parse org/netbeans/modules/web/ie/docs/jsp.hs. Steps to reproduce: =================== 1. Launch or restart IDE to have new session. 2. Invoke "Help|Contents" from the main menu. 3. Have a look into console or ide.log for the exceptions.
Created attachment 12305 [details] Exceptions thrown when parsing help set.
John, could this be related to your recent commit of helpsets?
Switching back to core > help system. I ran the build with a fresh user directory on win2K and got no exceptions when opening help the first time. I did it in both my old userdir and a fresh one and had no problems. Jiri, does this happen for you every time?
Yes, as I said the only condition is to have fresh instance of IDE, not user-dir. To be honest I have built this IDE myself based on update of BLD200311251900 tag but I didn't (!) use "Create new directories" switch. Maybe this is the case. I must investigate it ... If so, I apologize. :-(
Reassigning this to you until you figure it out. I've done no commits to the help system, so it's probably a problem with the docs or something else.
Jirka Sorry, but it works for me in [nb_dev](200401061900)
Okay, I agree. I also apologize for letting this unresolved for so long time but I simply forgot to check it. As far as I remember it was the problem with incorrectly checked out sources. Sorry again.
