This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Steps to reproduce: 1) Enable the "Ask for advanced options" checkbox in the CVS settings 2) Enable "Call edit command when editing read-only files" in the CVS settings 3) Check out your files in read-only mode 4) make sure you have a file which has the status up-to-date in your filesystem which is also open in the editor, but the version on the CVS server is actually modified (someone else committed some changes) 5) Issue the update command on the package containing that file --> NetBeans locks up I suspect that the advanced options dialog and the "Edit command" dialog and the "xxx was modified externally. Reload?" windows create some kind of dead-lock 4) Right click on the package containing that file
This is not actually bug of "javacvs" module but "vcscvs" one. That's why I changed the product.
Fixed in recent dev builds.
Verified on [Build-010212_1IE] Note - BUG also appears in version : FFJ20
