Description Peter Pis 2004-07-16 15:49:37 UTC 
>System Info:
  Product Version       = NetBeans IDE Dev (Build
200407151800)
  Operating System      = Windows XP version 5.1
running on x86
  Java; VM; Vendor      = 1.5.0-beta3; Java
HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.5.0-beta3-b5
7; Sun Microsystems Inc.
  Java Home             = C:\Program
Files\java\jdk1.5.0\jre

Steps:
1. Try to login when you've got setup %HOME% variable.

It is not possible to login when this property is
incorrectly setup. This is problem of windows
operatings system.
Comment 1 Martin Entlicher 2004-07-21 16:46:25 UTC 
CVS.exe reads just the HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH anyway I think, so it
should be enough to read these two and ignore HOME on Windows.
Comment 2 Martin Entlicher 2004-07-21 16:47:31 UTC 
Fixed in trunk:

/cvs/vcscore/src/org/netbeans/modules/vcscore/settings/GeneralVcsSettings.java,v
 <--  GeneralVcsSettings.java
new revision: 1.15; previous revision: 1.14

/cvs/vcscore/src/org/netbeans/modules/vcscore/settings/VcsSettings.java,v
 <--  VcsSettings.java
new revision: 1.14; previous revision: 1.13
Comment 3 Jiri Kovalsky 2004-07-22 13:29:00 UTC 
I am sorry but it simply behaves the same way. Creating new
environment variable HOME containing %HOMEDIR% value breaks
possibility to login. Trying to verify in development build
#200407220815 of NetBeans 4.0.
Comment 4 Jiri Kovalsky 2004-07-28 10:54:37 UTC 
I guess possibility to login on Windows via the IDE is pretty low now.
I tried to rename my %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%.cvspass file. Then I tried
to login but I was NOT able to create new .cvspass file in directory
set in "Tools|Options". Increasing priority, this is serious problem
and will possibly become this week's Q-build stopper.
Comment 5 Martin Entlicher 2004-07-30 15:03:11 UTC 
We have to use HOMEDRIVE + HOMEPATH environment variables exclusively
on Windows instead of HOME when searching for .cvspass file.
Comment 6 Martin Entlicher 2004-07-30 16:00:52 UTC 
Acually no. The original fix of this issue was a mistake. HOME
property has a higher precedence then HOMERDIVE + HOMEPATH.

I'll revert the original fix, the user must set the HOME property
properly or unset it.
Setting HOME through "Home Directory" property in Tools Options should
work O.K. now.

Comment 7 Martin Entlicher 2004-07-30 16:02:02 UTC 
The fix is reverted, resolving as "WONTFIX".
The user must assure that the HOME is correctly set, otherwise can not
log in.
Comment 8 Peter Pis 2005-06-16 13:11:11 UTC 
Verified.
