Description kbr 2007-04-03 06:47:06 UTC 
I'm getting an IllegalArgumentException from the IDE apparently during scanning
of a particular .java file. This wouldn't be that bad, except that I can't
execute (F6) the file within the IDE due to this exception occurring, which is
extremely annoying. I'm attaching messages.log.

I can provide the source bundle complete with Netbeans projects that are
reproducing this exception, but they are over 20 MB in size. I can most easily
place them on Sun SWAN; my Sun email is kenneth.russell at sun dot com.

There is lots of exception from MDR module, can you please try to clean your
userdir? (e.g. delete ${userdir}/var/cache/mdrstorage). Is it reporoducible
after that?
Comment 3 kbr 2007-04-06 22:49:51 UTC 
Yes, this workaround worked. I realize that the MDR is going away in NetBeans 6,
but it would be good if this kind of workaround were advertised more broadly on
the NetBeans 5.5-related part of the web site. I was only able to find one
related bug in the database and this workaround wasn't listed.

You can close this bug.
Comment 4 Jiri Prox 2007-04-10 12:57:48 UTC 
You're right, this workaround is widely mentioned on nbusers mailing list, but
is not written on wwww, I'll try to find the right place where to announce it.

5.5 is released and the 6.0 will not contain MDR module, so closing as WONTFIX
