Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 081204) Java: 1.6.0_10-rc; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 11.0-b13 System: Linux version 2.6.27-10-generic running on i386; UTF-8; en_US (nb) 1. Start fresh "ergonomic IDE" 2. Invoke Tools>Options>Editor>Formatting 3. Close Options dialog, click OK 4. Create a new Java Appication 5. Invoke Tools>Options -> Editor>Formatting is selected, but: 1. Language combobox contains "text/x-java" instead of "Java" 2. Tabs are missing: Task List, Mark Occurrences, Hints -> Everything works after IDE restart
The same after installing C++, etc.
This problem seems to be present in standard Java SE IDE: 0a. download Java SE IDE (the smallest Java one) 0b. go to Tools/Plugins/Installed tab 0c. right click Java and choose "Deactivate Category Java" 1. let the IDE restart 2. Invoke Tools>Options>Editor>Formatting 3. Close Options dialog, click OK 4. Go to Tools/Plugins/Installed, rightclick Java and choose "Activate Category Java" 5. Invoke Tools>Options -> Editor>Formatting is selected, but: 1. Language combobox contains "text/x-java" instead of "Java" -> Everything works after IDE restart
I guess the editor panels do not listen on changes in SystemFileSystem in order to pick up newly installed languages. It has never really been needed. I suspect that a lot of editor settings / mimelookup related code won't work for the same reason.
Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *200902110201* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/70878efd8318 User: Vita Stejskal <vstejskal@netbeans.org> Log: #154767: partial fix; better listening on the System FileSystem changes
I think I fixed most the problems. However, the steps as they are mentioned here may still lead to strange results. The reason is that 'Deactivate Category Java' is not an inverse operation to 'Activating Java' by the ergonomics logic. I had to use -J-Dplugin.manager.modules.only=true in order to be able to really turn off modules in the "Java" category. I'm not sure if that is a problem or designed behavior of Plugin Manager, but I believe that editor options and settings are now ergonomics friendly :-). http://hg.netbeans.org/jet-main/rev/24c7775923c6 http://hg.netbeans.org/jet-main/rev/e6a170239b3a http://hg.netbeans.org/jet-main/rev/672b4c515cef
