Deadlock appears when you try to do something with AppServer instace while debugger stays at breakpoint: - add AppServer instance in runtime view - create new web project - add breakpoint to index.jsp - start debugging (F5) and wait until debugger stops at breakpoint - show runtime view and right click on AppServer instance node. Then IDE freezes. Build 20050217-1739, JDK1.5.0_01, Linux.

The same happens when you debug servlet.
It works on Windows. It doesn't work on Linux.
Is there a workaround?
We used the same test as the tomcat plugin to detect if we are in debug more and stopped... This tst is done inside the getTargets() call from the threads dumps. Either the tomcat way to testing this changed, or this is another mystery on how netbeans works. Bottom line: it is hard to communicate with Servers you are also debugging via applications deployed to them... It works on Windows, as a non politically correct workaround. Write once, debug everywhere...
Fixed in the plugin side.
BTW: Part of 4.1 Beta release notes.
Verified in build 20050301-0836.
the release notes for RC1 still say this isn't fixed: http://www.netbeans.org/community/releases/41/relnotes.html
Mentioned release notes are from Beta not from RC1 (it will come in 2-3 weeks). Newly created RC1 or FCS release notes will document only issues with RELNOTE keyword - this one issue will be removed then since it has no such keyword anymore.
in that case the RC1 build links to the wrong release notes. i got there by selecting Help-->Release Notes in the RC1 build.
ahh...i guess the 5 april build was rebranded as RC1 but is not the official release candidate?
This page will be updated to contain latest (RC1/FCS) release notes. You can see it in the URL - it has no '41beta' or '41rc', only '41' in the link name. BTW: as I said, RC1 is not finished yet. I suppose you saw RC1 splash screen in latest daily builds - it could be there by mistake. Thanks for report.
aaaah - you're right. problem is that 4.1 daily build(s) from 6th April should not be publicly downloadable - we are going to remove them from download site ASAP. Thanks for the catch!
