Sometimes there appears crash of VM when uninstalling modules. This is probably only Mac OS problem, I didn't see it on Windows XP. The testcase is to uninstall module categories and the crash appears randomly.
Created attachment 32834 [details] Crash report attached...
Sorry, I have forgotten, here is my environment info: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200608101800) 1.5.0_06; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.5.0_06-64 Mac OS X version 10.4.7 running on ppc en_US (nb); MacRoman
I'm afraid of I'm able to fix it. Maybe needs to report to somewhere else. I guess it's not a subject to change something on module manager code.
A won't fix candidate. We will tracing a crash rate, optionally find out steps to reproduce.
You are right, Jirko. It is not possible to solve this problem on the side of NetBeans. I agree with changes you made with this issue. Users are probably not too much affected because they are not execute modules uninstall action repeatedly. We'll see how many duplicates will be filed. We don't have direct steps to reproduce and probably will not have. There is no known occurence of this issue on other platform than Mac OS X (it is only Apple's JDK problem).
I haven't heard about crashes like this. Anyway, it's a Apples's JDK bug, not fixable in NetBeans.
