This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Firstly, I am not sure about the categorization of this bug. I have a fresh installation of Netbeans 6.7 and I found millions of unwanted plugins installed automatically (not good) I went ahead and tried to uninstall. Tools->Plugins->Installed->Show details. Sample screen attached. It takes forever to find dependencies. The status message is "Please wait until the installer discovers plugin dependencies" (over 15 minutes now)
Created attachment 84843 [details] This is just an example. Any plugin uninstall has bad performance
could you please attach the ~/.netbeans/6.7/var/log/messages.log file and a few thread dumps as well? http://wiki.netbeans.org/GenerateThreadDump thanks in advance, Dmitry
I do not understand the Windows instructions (Probably I will raise an issue for that - which component?) Ctrl - Break does not get me anything NOR do I have any nb.exe
Open command prompt (cmd.exe), change directory (cd) to <installdir>\bin and execute netbeans.exe > output.txt 2>&1 Reproduce the issue (wait while NB is "hanging" at the uninstallation dialog), press ctrl-break 2-3 times with ~1 second delay, exit the dialog and the NetBeans. After that please attach output.txt and ~/.netbeans/6.7/var/log/messages.log. Thanks, Dmitry PS. Regarding the instructions - that is the wiki page, it is supported by several peaple... and no issuezilla component.

I have run the console command (see console picture attached) as you said. When I do Ctrl+Break it exits to c:\. Is this correct? The output.txt is blank. I guess I am missing something here. Please let me know and I will try it again Thanks!
Hm... it does not work for me either :( The thing that work is to run "netbeans --console new" from the command line. That will open new console window. Make sure that that window have enough buffer (Right-click on the window title, choose "Properties", then "Layout" tab and set e.g. 3000 as the Screen Buffer Size height (the rest values can be the default), click OK. After that reproduce the issue, go to that new console window, type Ctrl-Break a few times (you`ll see the thread dumps in the console window), then close the plugin uninstallation dialog and exit NB. After that do the right-click on that console window, choose Edit->Select All, then press Enter in that Window. Then open Notepad and do Ctrl-V, save the file and attach it here. That`s it. However I already see the following issue in the log, maybe it is the reason. SEVERE [org.openide.util.RequestProcessor]: Error in RequestProcessor org.netbeans.modules.autoupdate.ui.wizards.OperationDescriptionStep$1 java.lang.ClassCastException: org.netbeans.modules.autoupdate.services.FeatureUpdateElementImpl cannot be cast to org.netbeans.modules.autoupdate.services.ModuleUpdateElementImpl at org.netbeans.modules.autoupdate.services.OperationValidator.filterCandidatesToDeactivate (OperationValidator.java:528) at org.netbeans.modules.autoupdate.services.OperationValidator.findRequiredModulesForDeactivate (OperationValidator.java:514) at org.netbeans.modules.autoupdate.services.OperationValidator.access$1000(OperationValidator.java:67) at org.netbeans.modules.autoupdate.services.OperationValidator$UninstallValidator.getRequiredElementsImpl (OperationValidator.java:261) at org.netbeans.modules.autoupdate.services.OperationValidator.getRequiredElements(OperationValidator.java:126) at org.netbeans.modules.autoupdate.services.OperationContainerImpl$OperationInfoImpl.getRequiredElements (OperationContainerImpl.java:339) at org.netbeans.api.autoupdate.OperationContainer$OperationInfo.getRequiredElements(OperationContainer.java:373) at org.netbeans.modules.autoupdate.ui.wizards.OperationWizardModel.getRequiredUpdateElements (OperationWizardModel.java:130) at org.netbeans.modules.autoupdate.ui.wizards.OperationDescriptionStep$1.run(OperationDescriptionStep.java:180) at org.openide.util.RequestProcessor$Task.run(RequestProcessor.java:577) [catch] at org.openide.util.RequestProcessor$Processor.run(RequestProcessor.java:1030) That is very close to Issue 168672 if not the same (with the only difference is the assertions enabled/disabled).
Created attachment 84863 [details] console output correct version
Created attachment 84864 [details] message new
Does this mean we cannot uninstall a plugin until this is fixed?
BTW, is it reproducible with development builds? http://bits.netbeans.org/netbeans/trunk/nightly/latest/
