Netbeans 6.5 hangs when creating an Action

[anand1st]

Hi,

I'm having a problem creating a Netbeans Action module. When I do, the Netbeans hangs. I've tried this on a colleague's computer and the same thing happens. To reproduce this event, pls do the following:

1) Click File > New Project > Netbeans module > Module
2) Add in default values and create module
3) After the module is created, right click on module and click on New > Other > Module Development > Action
4) Click Next and it hangs....

Netbeans 6.1 does not have this problem. I am currently using the full Netbeans 6.5 installation. Any idea why?

Kind regards, Andy

Hi Varun,

I've reported this issue with netbeans.org. You are welcome to check it out at http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=153608. A thread dump is attached as well.

I'm using Windows XP SP3 Core2 Duo 2.83GHz with 2GB RAM. I've tried with all my colleagues machines as well and the same problem persists.

Same problem here, only it's with 6.1. It freezes on registration screen. It seems to me that it's having trouble enumerating the pulldowns.
Java starts really sucking up memory while it's happening.

Intel E7300 4GB ram

I have noticed this too, others in previous days also. I suggest you
create a P1 issue for this, it is really serious.

I think it is fine with netbeans in OSX, i tried repeating the test several times, and it did not hang, so i guess netbeans in osx does not have this issue.

i dont know, just a guess, does it have something to do with JDK 1.5 and 1.6?

Hi Balaji,

Thanks. U were spot on.

I've tried with Java 1.5.0_16.... no problem...took about 30 sec to populate the drop-down lists.

With Java 1.6.0_10, it's taking too long. It IS a JVM issue.

Guess I'll be using Java 1.5 for now

I had the same problem with the following combinations on Windows XP,
on two different computers:
NB 6.7.1 + jdk 1.6.0_10
NB 6.7.1 + jdk 1.5.0_20

I checked out Issue #: 153608 and Issue #: 165948
so I have tried all combinations of starting NB with -J-da.

The problem showed up when starting from scratch and
creating a new NetBeans Platform Application,
and then a new Module, and then using New->Action on the module.

However I found that when starting with the sample "Paint Application",
then it works fine.
Still when following the tutorial for "Paint Application" the problem is there.
So I simply used
File->New Project->Samples->NetBeans Modules->Paint Application
to start with and then deleted the modules from Paint Application.

But why do that make a difference?

Since I can't seem to get any response in this Forum perhaps you can answer me.

When you add a component to a page, does the 6.5 version automatically add the import statement for the component, add the getter/setter methods and bind to the page for you? I am wondering if my download was corrupted or something.

Thanks.
