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.
Dev sources, JDK 1.5.0. I find that if I add 100 sample JARs (no sources/classes in them) to a j2seproject, no problem. But if I add 300, I get exceptions. Apparently there are too many open files - in the MDR database, it seems. OK, there are limits (though this seems a dangerously low limit), but the error recovery is very poor. A bunch of exceptions are thrown halfway through scanning classpaths, and the scanning dialog closes. Then if you try to shut down, there are more exceptions while the shutdown dialog is showing, and the process does not exit; you have to kill it from a shell.
Created attachment 18507 [details] Log file and final thread dump when it would not exit
Since the "too many open files" problem should be gone now, this has a very low priority.
This isn't gone. I see it on: Product Version: NetBeans IDE 6.0 (Build 200711261600) Java: 1.6.0_04; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 10.0-b19 System: Linux version 2.6.24-2.6.24.3.slh.6-sidux-amd64 running on amd64; UTF-8; en_US (nb) Userdir: /home/sasbeb/.netbeans/6.0
6.0 does not contain MDR so this must be in some other component. Could you please attach your log file?
This seems to be cleared up after clearing the cache. I hit it after changing the dependencies of a project.
sasbeb, are you running full IDE?
The original issue I reported was really specific to MDR and is obsolete as of NB 6.0. sasbeb, if you are seeing an issue in NB 6.0 please file a fresh bug report (component: 'ide'), attach your log file, and note any steps to reproduce you might have.
No problem.... I was just trying to piggy back on an issue already filed, which was really not resolved. The thing is, I can't reproduce it now that I cleared my cache. I think I filed an rfe for that one (that is a tool in the toolbar to clear the cache, or at least re-index it)
