NB36-RC2, RH9, jdk1.4.2_04 ========================== Well, I'm marking it as P4 because it is not visible on the first attempt and use case is not typical, so most users won't ever seen it. Reproduction: ============= 1) on Dir.Sel.Panel click Browse... button and select some non-empty dir and pres Open. 2) Warning, that dir is not empty appears.Click OK 3) instead of existing directory type path to non-existing directory where you have permisions to write. eg. your "$HOME/NB 36" and click Next. 4) Click Yes for creating directory. 5) go back by pressing Back 6) Repeat point 1 , 2 7) Now, Select a directory which you create in point 3 and click Open and Next and Back. 8) now type a directory which doesn't exist and where you don't have permisions to write. eg. "/usr/jjj" You can go Next without any warning and location where Netbeans is going to be installed is which you specify in point 3 and 7. But if you go Next again. Unziping is scipped and you've got Strange Summary: "NB 46 installed successfully" NB location: /usr/jjj To run ide : /usr/jjj/bin/runide.sh
This should be fixed in NB 4.0 installer. Petr please verify. (NB installer now checks destination dir when Next button is pressed. Also write permission is checked.).
Right, Marek. I verified in daily build 200502101900. In case the user selects r/o directory then the error message 'Dir ... isn't writable' is displayed.
