Just try to add dependency on openide.dialogs to api.progress. Triggered "Collecting project dependencies" is never finished...even after restart scan is never finished (I let it run over night). I had to revert project.xml to be able to start IDE. Reproducible always, I also tried 6.7 and 6.5 and the problem is same.
openide.dialogs depends on api.progress, so the problem is that apisupport doesn't detect dependency cycle correctly and goes into endless loop. Decreasing to P3.
Now checked in UI and if cycle introduced manually, scan does not loop forever. core-main #711aaf7b9fb1
Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *200910221401* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main-golden/rev/711aaf7b9fb1 User: Richard Michalsky <rmichalsky@netbeans.org> Log: #174747: dependency cycles check in apisupport projects, optimization of recursive test classpath scan.
