This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
When attaching to a running application, if a directory which is write protected is selected for the Working Directory then an error box is displayed. It states... "The directory is write protected. Please make it writable" Yes, No, Cancel This reads like a request to the user to do something. Better would be "The directory is write protected. Make it writable? Yes, Cancel" No is of no use as hitting it just causes the dialog to reapear.
Ah, it IS a request to the user to go and change the permissions. However, the yes / no / cancel still makes little sense.
Quite common behavior of Windows is that if a program uses a file then this file is "locked" and cannot be deleted/written/etc.
Agreed, Yes/No/Cancel makes no sense, will change to OK/Cancel
Fixed in M2 codebase
