After using (on a somewhat young and freshly installed NB with Ent.Pack / Vis.Pack and Prof./Pack) update center and including the beta updates on the next startup I received error messages regarding CVS support. On the next few startups of NB I receive the following exception and the startup procedure hangs completely (unable to start NB). java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException at java.util.AbstractList.add(AbstractList.java:151) at java.util.AbstractList.add(AbstractList.java:89) at java.util.Collections$SynchronizedCollection.add(Collections.java:1581) at org.openide.util.lookup.InheritanceTree$Node.assignItem(InheritanceTree.java:1150) at org.openide.util.lookup.InheritanceTree.add(InheritanceTree.java:173) at org.openide.util.lookup.DelegatingStorage.add(DelegatingStorage.java:82) at org.openide.util.lookup.AbstractLookup.setPairsAndCollectListeners(AbstractLookup.java:273) at org.openide.util.lookup.AbstractLookup.setPairs(AbstractLookup.java:230) at org.openide.util.lookup.AbstractLookup$Content.setPairs(AbstractLookup.java:1121) at org.openide.loaders.FolderLookup$ProxyLkp.update(FolderLookup.java:342) at org.openide.loaders.FolderLookup.createInstance(FolderLookup.java:176) at org.openide.loaders.FolderInstance.defaultProcessObjects(FolderInstance.java:742) at org.openide.loaders.FolderInstance.access$000 (FolderInstance.java:74) at org.openide.loaders.FolderInstance$2.run(FolderInstance.java:628) at org.openide.loaders.FolderLookup.postCreationTask(FolderLookup.java:240) at org.openide.loaders.FolderInstance.processObjects(FolderInstance.java:626) at org.openide.loaders.FolderInstance$Listener.finished(FolderInstance.java:909) at org.openide.loaders.FolderList.createObjects(FolderList.java:653) at org.openide.loaders.FolderList.getObjects(FolderList.java:521) at org.openide.loaders.FolderList.access$200(FolderList.java:56) at org.openide.loaders.FolderList$ListTask.run(FolderList.java:886) at org.openide.util.RequestProcessor$Task.run(RequestProcessor.java:499) [catch] at org.openide.util.RequestProcessor$Processor.run(RequestProcessor.java:932)
I was able to make NB start again after disabling the following modules manually in their XML files: ~/.netbeans/5.5/config/Modules/org-netbeans-modules-vcs-advanced.xml ~/.netbeans/5.5/config/Modules/org-netbeans-modules-vcs-profiles-clearcase.xml ~/.netbeans/5.5/config/Modules/org-netbeans-modules-vcs-profiles-cvsprofiles.xml ~/.netbeans/5.5/config/Modules/org-netbeans-modules-vcs-profiles-pvcs.xml ~/.netbeans/5.5/config/Modules/org-netbeans-modules-vcs-profiles-teamware.xml ~/.netbeans/5.5/config/Modules/org-netbeans-modules-vcs-profiles-vss.xml So it seems to be some incompatibility with the above modules. Maybe the module loading system could be enhanced to allow to continue the startup process by asking the user if the offending module(s) that caused the exception should be disabled for the next startup. Keep up the good work, Chris
