[nb40 build #040620; JDK 1.4.2_04] I restarted the IDE (second run with the same userdir) and started getting exceptions. The exceptions occurred at such a rate that I couldn't even switch to another app, nor kill the IDE using using the Task Manager. When I finally managed to kill it, the log file was 20 MB big (see the attached fragment).
Created attachment 15932 [details] IDE log.
Source of this particular occurence of the bug was probably fixed (most likely it was caused by a wrong shutdown). But this problem can likely still occur in case the storages end up in an inconsistent state and somebody makes them readonly. Since this is an obscure option, I am lowering the priority. Similar problems occur also in other parts of IDE if the rights are not set correctly in the netbeans userdir.
Nobody else reported this. Lowering priority.
I am closing all reports in category Java/Unsupported as wontfix. These should be dead issues --- if the reported cases are against some live part of the NetBeans IDE please reopen and we can discuss to which category they belong.
