I have been unable to reproduce this using a trivial project, but this happens every time to me in my production environment. What I do is a clean build. If that fails because of compiler errors and I fix those, subsequent builds will fail. This is what I see when I do a clean build: init: deps-clean: Deleting directory C:\dsi\Netbeans\NB6\MainLine\JavaOcie\projects\JavaViewer\build clean: init: deps-jar: Created dir: C:\dsi\Netbeans\NB6\MainLine\JavaOcie\projects\JavaViewer\build\classes Compiling 2702 source files to C:\dsi\Netbeans\NB6\MainLine\JavaOcie\projects\JavaViewer\build\classes Then I get compile error. So, I fix them and do a build (from the toolbar) Now I see: init: deps-jar: Compiling 25 source files to C:\dsi\Netbeans\NB6\MainLine\JavaOcie\projects\JavaViewer\build\classes So I see a huge amount of compile errors like: package dsi.client.awt does not exist cannot find symbol ... At this point, everything is compilable, but the build just won't do it. If I now go to the root of my file tree and hit F9, I get: init: deps-jar: Compiling 2702 source files to C:\dsi\Netbeans\NB6\MainLine\JavaOcie\projects\JavaViewer\build\classes Note: Some input files use or override a deprecated API. Note: Recompile with -Xlint:deprecation for details. Note: Some input files use unchecked or unsafe operations. Note: Recompile with -Xlint:unchecked for details. copy-to-build: Copying 419 files to C:\dsi\Netbeans\NB6\MainLine\JavaOcie\projects\JavaViewer\build\classes compile-single: BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 1 minute 4 seconds) This time the compile-single compiled all the files, but it does not always. Often it will say that it is only compiling less X file where X < 2702 This is pretty frustrating for me. I am sorry I can't give you a good test case right now, but it happens every time in my environment, so I wonder if it will on yours to when on a non-trivial project. The started happening around Beta2. I am, using daily 200710310000
Reassigning to "ant".
Please, provide more information about what kind of project is that and how it was created, describe also layout of the project, what libraries it uses, etc. Switch Ant to Verbose verbosity level (Tools | Options | Miscellaneous | Ant) and attach output from Output Window. Thanks.
More information is needed to resolve the issue.
Clearly using a j2seproject. But yes, need a test case to reproduce or I cannot likely do anything. Running Ant in Verbose mode might turn up something useful, but probably will not. After fixing the erroneous code, does Clean & Build (as opposed to Build) work? Best to attach information _now_ because there is little time for further fixes to 6.0.
Strangely, it seems to work the 3rd time. The behavior is pretty repeatable, however sometimes it will work the 2nd time. This happens with files in different directories and with different CVS states (Local, Locally Modified) I am sorry I have not been able to create a small reproducible test case. I have tried. Additional info --------------- If you see some additional output you do not recognize, it is some debug echos that I added: Config = DEV_04_07 Platform: Java_1.6.0 Turing on ANT debug I get some more info. (Lots more, actually...) Look at the differences between builds 2 and 3, I get this: build 2 ------- Line 39: Setting ro project property: includes -> dsi/client/wizard2/test/TestWizard.java This is not in build 3 build 2 ------- Build 2, Line 452: Override ignored for property "includes" Build 3, Line 451: Setting project property: includes -> ** Build 2, Line 616: fileset: Setup scanner in dir C:\dsi\Netbeans\NB6\MainLine\JavaOcie\projects\JavaViewer\src with patternSet{ includes: [dsi/client/wizard2/test/TestWizard.java] excludes: [] } Build 3, Line 615: fileset: Setup scanner in dir C:\dsi\Netbeans\NB6\MainLine\JavaOcie\projects\JavaViewer\src with patternSet{ includes: [**] excludes: [] } Here is something else.

I think I found a test case. ---%<--- C1.java public class C1 {} ---%<--- C2.java public class C2 { C1 v; }broken ---%<--- 1. Clean & Build => error in C2.java 2. Delete 'broken' from C2.java 3. Build => /tmp/JavaLibrary20/src/C2.java:2: cannot find symbol symbol : class C1 location: class C2 C1 v; 1 error BUILD FAILED (total time: 0 seconds) Build in this case passes just C2.java to javac. (Because of the optimization in issue #104508.) F9 on C2.java does work, but that is because F9 uses a sourcepath and Build (because of issue #49026) does not. Since C1.java is uncompiled, javac on C2.java cannot find it either as source as binary. Probable fix is to disable the optimization of issue #104508 in case the previous build failed.
Simple workaround, in case this was not already obvious, is to just use Clean & Build rather than Build after fixing the compilation error.
I am glad you have found a test case. I have just had this happen to me in my more normal routine...without doing a clean at all. This makes the suggested workaround a bit of time-waster. Clean builds just take too long. The workaround I am now using is just to keep trying the build until it eventually works the way it should. (Usually on 1 or 2 extra builds.)
Fixing to always consider all files for compilation in case the previous build failed. I think this should address your problem. I hope so, since if not I will not be able to fix it for 6.0.

Verification of the fix would be much appreciated, by the way.
Jirka, could you please verify this issue ? Thanks in advance.
Looks like it is fixed to me using 200711060000...and I haven't noticed any deleterious effects.
