System Info: Product Version = NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200409011800) Operating System = Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86 Java; VM; Vendor = 1.5.0-rc; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.5.0-rc-b63; Sun Microsystems Inc. =================================================== Create new Context Command (Generic VCS Profiles) for CVS and set it expert property "Data Regex" to invalid [ for example ^(*.) ] - regular expression. And try invoke this command. Exception appears.
Created attachment 17347 [details] Exception description.
In case of invalid regexp I would expect this exception. Do you propose something different?
I would expect (instead of thrown exception) system dialog box appear with warning that entered regexp is not valid and application should refuse invoke command with this regexp.
Not bad idea, I'll take over.
There is a system dialog box not with warnig but with annotated exception- it is standard one.

OK, signing as invalid.
