Created attachment 28350 [details] corrupted Entries file
path to corrupted "Entries" file: nb_all2/ant/freeform/test/unit/CVS
timestamps for * CVS/Entries - 13:22 * other files - 13:19
* File "SettingsBeanInfo.java" is missing in desired location. It's created with 0 length. * Timestamp of corrupted CVS/Entries is the same as timestamp of package folder of "SettingsBeanInfo.java".
It is not easily reproducible and strange indeed. It happened twice and the same Entries file was overwritten by the same java file. There is no obvious logical link between these files, they are from different modules. It seems that when the java file is being checked out, its content is written to that Entries file instead.
Seems that this happens very rarely and there is a server error involved, decreasing priority.
Since that time I was not able to reproduce it. Therefore I am closing it as INVALID.
Verified.
