Description ieising 2009-12-08 03:12:57 UTC 
Hi,

When I create a breakpoint in my code by either doing it through the menu or by clicking in the gutter, the breakpoint is created (I can see it in the breakpoint-window, but the line on which the breakpoint is set is not changing color nor is there an icon in the gutter telling me that there is a breakpoint on that location.

This holds true for at least the default line breakpoints.

Is it always reproducible (e.g. after restarting NetBeans)? Is it reproducible from a clean userdir? I experienced similar behavior (and reported if) a few months ago. However, it was very very random and I was unable to reproduce it on demand.
Comment 2 Martin Entlicher 2009-12-08 03:59:00 UTC 
Iwan, can you please provide the exact build number?
Also, do you know if it's Mac-specific?
Comment 3 Lukas Hasik 2009-12-08 04:58:35 UTC 
Iwan, what kind of project is it? J2SE, J2ME ...
Comment 4 Vojtech Sigler 2009-12-08 05:06:42 UTC 
For reference, here's the original issue: https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=169096

As I'm not sure it is really a dup, so I'm leaving this one open.

Back then when I came across the problem, I was debugging a J2SE swing app.

Also, Iwan, what Java version are you running against? Few weeks ago I tested on Mac with jdk 1.5u19 and briefly with 1.6 (I believe it was update 15)
Comment 5 ieising 2009-12-08 05:48:07 UTC 
It happens consistently even after restarting my Mac.

Comment 6 ieising 2009-12-08 05:54:50 UTC 
Here's what I have on build number etc:

Product Version: NetBeans IDE 6.8 RC2 (Build 200912022200)
Java: 1.6.0_17; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 14.3-b01-101
System: Mac OS X version 10.6.2 running on x86_64; MacRoman; en_US (nb)
Userdir: /Users/Iwan/.netbeans/6.8rc2

I'm not sure if it's a Mac thing or generic, my Windows box started dying on me several months ago and it won't stay up long enough to start anything big as NB. One of the HD's is dead and the videocard is problematic, when it heats up the system dies.

But this is with sources from my EJB project of a JavaEE project as well as sources of a JavaSE project which I just created to verify this.
Sources of a JavaME project are fine (tried a few randomly).
I have a Mobile Library project with existing sources and that works fine as well. The same source file but now accessed via a JavaSE project with existing sources works also.

Comment 7 Vojtech Sigler 2009-12-08 06:17:03 UTC 
Hmm, it seems more and more to me that it is a dup of the bug I mentioned earlier.

Iwan, could you also try with a clean userdir (run netbeans with --userdir /path/to/new/dir)?
