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.
It could be useful to check if the reported exception haven't been already reported in Issuezilla. The check hasn't be too smart. IMO, it's enought to find first line with substring "netbeans" in the exception and look for all issues that contain the line in attachment or description. This feature should be called only on demand. It can be issuezilla's resources consuming operation. It cannot be automated because somebody has to evaluate if reported and founded exceptions are similar/same... You can use following URL to query issuezilla. replace LINE with particular exception line. Be careful that the line can't contain spaces. http://www.netbeans.org/issues/buglist.cgi?version=6.0&field0-0-0=attachments.thedata&type0-0-0=substring&value0-0-0=LINE&field0-0-1=longdesc&type0-0-1=substring&value0-0-1=LINE
This would help us to reduce the number of open reports and these issues should be resolved asap.
Good idea. It's not 100% reliable. Imagine: IllegalStatedException("File was not normalized") at org.openide.fs.FileUtil.to(String) ... at org.netbeans.modules.j2ee.blabbla If you try query on org.openide.fs.FileUtil.to you can found a lot of incorrect duplicates. You need to ask for at org.netbeans.modules.j2ee.blabbla There should be implemented selection of line for query.
We are not going to fix this issue, because it takes too long time and it blocks issuezilla to execute such a query.
