Description cini01 2006-06-25 17:44:46 UTC 
When saving a file after having made changes the file's time stamp remains
unmodified which causes CVS not recognize changes. Furthermore, the color of the
modified file does not change to blue as usual.

I have 2 machines with Windows XP SP2 installed, both running netbeans. One
subtle detail is that on the machine where the error occurs the system drive's
letter is J: while on the second machine where the drive letter is C: everything
works fine.  Project and repository paths are equal on both machines.

If timestamp of the file stays the same, the file is considered unmodified. The
question is, why its timestamp does not change when you save the file. Can you
elaborate more on your side? I guess the OS filesystem might be involved
somehow. Can you try other tools to edit a particular file?

Obviously the effect occurs in combination with a ZoneAlarm installation. After
uninstalling ZoneAlarm the modification time was changed properly and everything
worked as usual. An interesting detail is, that only uninstalling ZoneAlarm
solved the problem while simply stopping ZoneAlarm let the problem persist.
After re-installation of ZoneAlarm the modification times were not set any
longer so that I suspect that there is some setting in the Firewall that
prevents netbeans from changing the file modification time while other editors
like UltraEdit or the native windows editor are not affected. The effect occured
for the first time with ZoneAlarm 6.5.714.0, earlier versions did not show this
effect...
