After i updated to 4.1 RC2 (uninstalled previous one) and now with 4.1 i've keep getting cannot find symbol. Can't really do any programming work with netbeans since i'm allways getting those errors only restarting netbeans helps. Example i have class bob in folder/package Game.gfx it has public int center_off_x and center_off_y then i have class item in folder/package Game.items it has public int x and y and line public bob sprite; Then i do this line return ( x + sprite.center_off_x ); netbeans gives me error cannot find symbol symbol : variable center_off_x location: class Game.gfx.bob operator + cannot be applied to int,Game.gfx.bob.center_off_x incompatible types found : <nulltype> required: int If close netbeans and start it again without making any changes this code works. Now i can allways use variable center_off_x without an hassle. But this means i have to restart netbeans every time a add variable to a class that is accessed from another class!! Please fix this soon it's drivin me crazy :)
Also like to add that if i do sprite. and list is snow center_off_x is snown in the list even when it's not working.
This is a known issue. It will be fixed in the next release. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 32882 ***
