Description jmike25 2004-02-05 12:51:31 UTC 
I installed netbeans 3.5.1 and I also installed 
the external editor piece, but whenever I enable 
the external editor, I get an error 
message: "externaleditor.ExtEdException Exception 
has occurred"  I am not sure if I'm configuring 
it properly or what?  I would like to use VI 
because I am comfortable with it and can work a 
whole lot faster.  So I appreciate any ideas as 
soon as possible.  Thanks for your help

This is a known problem. The exted is doing some very unixy
command processing which strips out backslashes. So your path
to vim, which probably started out as "C:\Vim\vim62\gvim.exe" is
passed to Runtime.getRuntime().exec() as "C:Vimvim62gvim.exe".

The exted group is not currently funded to fix windows problems.
Downgrading to P4.
