Description Jan Lahoda 2000-04-25 21:09:46 UTC
Get attachment, unpack it do C:/ and add filesystem "C:/Test Files",
and on the file system call Build All.
When in the directory name is not a space, or when compiling less than 10 files, it goes alright.
Comment 1 Svata Dedic 2000-07-13 08:50:59 UTC
It is OK at least on Linux/Solaris.
Comment 2 Marek Grummich 2000-07-25 09:21:59 UTC
Priority is changed to P4 (normal).
Comment 3 Christoph Kutzinski 2001-05-16 13:56:27 UTC
I also experience this behaviour. When I mount a filesystem with a space in it 
and add more then 10 files (with up to 10 it works) to the project and then 
build the project with the external compiler I get:

javac: invalid argument: C:\Program
Usage: javac <options> <source files>
where possible options include:
  -g                        Generate all debugging info
  -g:none                   Generate no debugging info
  -g:{lines,vars,source}    Generate only some debugging info
  -O                        Optimize; may hinder debugging or enlarge class file
  -nowarn                   Generate no warnings
  -verbose                  Output messages about what the compiler is doing
  -deprecation              Output source locations where deprecated APIs are 
used
  -classpath <path>         Specify where to find user class files
  -sourcepath <path>        Specify where to find input source files
  -bootclasspath <path>     Override location of bootstrap class files
  -extdirs <dirs>           Override location of installed extensions
  -d <directory>            Specify where to place generated class files
  -encoding <encoding>      Specify character encoding used by source files
  -target <release>         Generate class files for specific VM version
Errors compiling test.
Comment 4 Svata Dedic 2001-05-16 14:09:32 UTC
Can you reliably reproduce the problem ? If so, please attach here the exact
command lineused to laungch the IDE (modify the external compiler property to
begin with "cmd -c echo ", or capture the command in any other way) so we may
see whether the commandline is ill-formed or what. Please run netbeans with
-J-Dnetbeans.debug.exceptions=true and try to reproduce the bug. You'll find
trace messages about launching external process (compiler) - please attach them
here too.
Comment 5 Christoph Kutzinski 2001-05-16 14:40:22 UTC
I started Netbeans with -J-Dnetbeans.debug.exceptions=true, but not trace messages about starting the external compiler.
Content of my ide.cfg:
-jdkhome C:\Compilers\jdk1.3.0_02 -J-Xmx128m -J-Xss1024k -J-Xms32m -J-Dnetbeans.debug.exceptions=true

I create an attachement with the commanline.

Comment 8 Svata Dedic 2001-05-16 14:57:48 UTC
One more thing, could you get here the file mentioned on the compiler
commandline with filenames (the one after @) ? The commandline seems OK,
properly quoted :-(
If you - with the same IDE setup - compile a single class does everything go
well ? Could you please attach a commandline from a single file compilation ? 
Sorry to bother you but I am kind of stuck and I want to get rid of this issue.
Comment 9 Svata Dedic 2001-05-16 15:05:08 UTC
Oops, I didn't look at the compiler params attachment. Now it is a little
clearer ;-) Could you please verify one assumption ? Try to compile as much as
possible classes so that the compiler is invoked with their names right on the
commandline instead in a separate file. If that is OK, add one more class (so
the file is created) and that should fail :-\
I suppose we have to quote the filenames EVEN if passed through the file. Stupid
windows, really.

Comment 10 Christoph Kutzinski 2001-05-16 15:22:06 UTC
With 10 files no compilerparams file is created and it works. With 11 files a compilerparams file is created and it doesn't work.

Comment 13 Svata Dedic 2001-09-12 08:25:26 UTC
It should work now for javac & windows. However, Jikes is broken - 
it tokenizes the filelist using a whitespace as a boundary and does 
not understand quoting/escaping in the filelist.

The bug is fixed *only* for Windows platform, I don't have a way to 
test it on OpenVMS. Jesse, could you give me a contact to Compaq 
people working on VMS issues ?

Add mgarrison@netbeans.org to the CC list, or mail

Svata do you know what the correct target milestone for this bug is?
Also which files was it fixed in? Very commonly reported, so we ought
to have full information in this report.
Comment 21 Svata Dedic 2002-03-25 08:44:25 UTC
The fix was released with NB-3.3.0 according to CVS history.

Comment 23 Tomas Hurka 2002-07-01 17:01:03 UTC
Reproduce on Mac OS X, see issue #24943 and I was able to reproduce it
on Linux too using the test classes from issue #24943. Reopening.
Comment 24 Jan Lahoda 2002-07-01 17:22:20 UTC
It does not work on Solaris too (using test case from issue #24943).
Comment 25 Tomas Hurka 2002-07-01 17:34:02 UTC
Fixed in trunk. All platform except VMS now uses quoting.
