Description Vince Kraemer 2009-03-20 18:27:51 UTC 
I get the attached exception in the console window when I attempt to 'expand' a jar which has duplicate entries.

see the attached screen shot for more details.

And the exception doesn't go through the 'usual' mechanisms... (a dialog box with a report button)

Comment 3 Jiri Skrivanek 2009-03-20 18:37:03 UTC 
A jar file with duplicate entries is invalid. That's why a dialog box is shown because it is not a NetBeans issue. The
provider of the jar should fix it.

breaking because you got invalid data from the user is 'the lot in life' of an IDE.

Yes. The provider of the jar should fix it.  Their bug.

The IDE should not have such a serious reaction to it. Totally our bug.

as an aside: You may want to talk to the person that implemented the view that appears when I do 'Open File...' on a jar
that has duplicate entries IN 6.5.  It seems to be 'fine'. The view is broken in 6.7...
Comment 5 Vince Kraemer 2009-03-20 20:04:36 UTC 
ok... it does break once you drill down to one of the duplicated files...

it seems like the view in 6.7 is breaking... too early...
