dev build 200505311800 The repro steps are a bit sketchy. I open up Netbeans, modify a file and save it or compile and suddenly from that point on, the "compile F9" option is disabled indefinately. I can modify the file again, hit CTRL-S to save, but hitting F9 does nothing and the context menu also shows the option as disabled. I suspect Netbeans is not detecting that the class file is out-of-date because previously when it detects an out-of-date class file it would denote this by an badge in the editor tab. I make modifications, save them, yet the "need to recompile badge" does not show up. I filed this as a P1 because the only workaround seem to be to restart the IDE. Having to restart the IDE once per recompile seems like a critical bug to me. I hope you can reproduce this on your side...?
BTW: This bug does not exist in dev build 200505171800 so it must have been introduced sometime in between those two builds.
Reassignign to java for evaluation.
I'm not able to reproduce the bug on build 200506091800. Please try newer build and let us know if you are still able to reproduce it. Please try that with clean userdir. Thanks. Lowering prio until we have reproducible test case.
There is a post on nbdev appearently related to this issue: http://www.netbeans.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=nbdev&msgNo=30445 http://www.netbeans.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=nbdev&msgNo=30436 http://www.netbeans.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=nbdev&msgNo=30426 The problem seems somehow related to freeform projects only. It looks like Java files from those projects can loose their relation to the project and so all actions which need a context of the current project are disabled.
moser, I was not using the freeform project so this issue is definately not specific to that feature. mkubec, I will try newer builds and let you know how it goes.
Gili, is there any new info about this issue? Thanks.
I don't experience this problem in the newer dev builds.
Thanks, closing as WORKSFORME.
