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.
If I have exited NetBeans with a project open, then the next time I start NetBeans 4.0 beta 2, the "Scanning Project Classpaths" dialog keeps coming up over and over. In order to be able to work, I must close the current project in between the dialog appearances and then exit netBeans. If I start NetBeans without a project open, then open the project, everything appears to work normally. This is NOT the same as other scanning bugs that I have read about, at least their descriptions don't match. One very important thing to note - my source and project files are on a mounted share, from a Sun PC Netlink server - this emulates a Windows NT primary domain with a few enhancements that support Windows 2000 and XP clients. I suspect that there is a problem with comparing times and/or dates, but cannot find out how to verify that. This is an extremely vexing problem, because I can't leave my projects opened and in a consistent state.
No known steps to reproduce. I agree that some problem with timestamps is the most likely explanation. Check to make sure your server and client agree on the time (in UTC)! Wrong component - if you are unsure of which component to use when reporting a bug, please use 'ide'.
This does not relate to a timestamp checking. It is more likely a problem with URL conversion. In the current build javacore is more robust, detects ClassPath inconsistencies causing loops and throws appropriate assertion errors. So, I believe this is fixed. But, could you please verify that with the current daily build of NetBeans?
The client and server are time-synced I most likely won't be able to test thi swith a new build for a couple of weeksd due to an injury and a vaction. (not fun that the first precedes the second!) I
I downloaded daily build for Oct 31: netbeans-4_0-daily-bin-200410311900-windows-31_Oct_2004_1900.exe This version does not exhibit the problem. I'm setting it to "WORKSFORME" - perhaps it should be "FIXED", but I am still unsure of who is supposed to set these things!
