Description grtbeard 2000-09-04 20:15:02 UTC 
When I start NetBeans from runide_w98.bat it can't display class structure -
message "Please wait..." stays forever in filesystem list.
I tried Sun JDK 1.2.2, Sun JDK 1.3, IBM JDK 1.3 - the same issue. But if I run
runidew.exe or runide.exe all work properly. I use Windows 98 SE (Russian).

What's wrong?

Please, can you provide us with more information ?
- does the IDE display some sort of dialog box a while after you expand the
source node ?
- can you, please, run the IDE with parameter -J-Dnetbeans.debug.exceptions=true
and attach a log file from that IDE session ?
- can you expand the structure for at least SOME classes ? If so, can you send
me the sources for classes that you cannot expand ?

Please check, if the CLASSPATH environment variable is not too long, since
Windows98 has restricted environment variable length. Also check permissions for
the files causing you the problem. Also, I'd like to know if you are trying to
display a structure of a .java file or .class file.

Launching the .bat files is not the _preffered_ way to run the IDE in Windows,
since Windows may attach .pif files (with different current directory setting)
and because of flaky handling of spaces in pathnames etc.
They exists for convenience and to help better customize IDE's startup.
The path of the IDE's basedir contains a space. While it probably does not cause
this bug, it may lead to other problems when launching external tools (since not
all tools can parse those paths correctly).

Resolved for 3.3.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
