The Netbeans 6.0 beta 1 options dialog for java code editing doesn't have a way to disable text line limit. I can disable it if I go into the "magic" Advanced Options dialog and drill down to the correct editor, but no typical Netbeans user does this. They just live with the ugly line. (OK, you can change the color - but that's weird too, why can I change the color but not get rid of it or change the number of characters that the limit is at?) Anyway, I think it would be good to have a checkbox to "enable line text limit" in the standard options dialog.
The option to disable the Text Line Limit does not even exist after drilling down into the Advanced options.
Yes, we need the checkbox somewhere. The number of characters where the line is drawn can be controlled from Tools-Options -> Editor -> Indentation -> Right margin. In the meantime you can set this to eg. 200 so that it stays off screen most of the time.
This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue. Thanks for your cooperation, NetBeans IDE 8.2 Release Boss
Still the same behaviour under 8.2. Max value for Tools - Options - Editor - All Languages - Right Margin = 200 and no checkbox to deactivate "Right Margin" line length limit
additional info to previous comment: requirement: just delete max value 200, so that values > 200 can be given. (we need for example 256)
