Product Version: NetBeans IDE 6.0 M10 (build 200706281431) Java: 1.6.0_02; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.6.0_02-b06 System: Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86; Cp1252; en_US (nb) CPU: P4 3.00GHz, 1GB RAM. Whenever browsing the filesystem is required, ie selecting Open File, Open Project etc, the java process goes to 100% CPU and it takes a minute or more before it returns. This happens every time a subfolder is selected in the File selection panel, so in fact, to select a file it will take you several minutes. Most else seems to be working fine. I have Netbeans 5.5 (and even Netbeans 5.0) which work fine.
This is JDK bug, for details see issue 109703. To workaround the issue : downgrade to JDK 6.0_01 or remove all archive files from your Desktop. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 109703 ***
