Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 081204) Java: 1.6.0_06; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 10.0-b22 System: Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86; MS932; ja_JP (nb) 1. Start NetBeans 2. Try to open a PDF file using File -> Open File wizard The file was opened in external pdf viewer. Next I tried to change the file 'open with' properties and specified nb.exe there. After I had opened the file using my mouse Netbeans started with bringing up command consoles. Eventually the file wasn't shown.
See also issue 122221.
I don't think this is related to the ergonomics IDE. The Open File functionality (and PDF viewer integration) is present in the basic setup. But anyway, I don't understand what the problem is. Where is the 'open with' property? It's not in NetBeans, is it the Windows file association? Then why do you think nb.exe should open a pdf file? You'd at least have to use the --open switch, but still I don't see why to open a pdf file this way.
My reproducing steps were about opening pdf file directly from the IDE using File -> Open File wizard. I couldn't do it this way. If the issue is valid reassign it please to the correct category and remove INVALID keyword.
