Description _ sandipchitale 2007-03-25 20:08:56 UTC 
[For module Project UI API]

The old and new value returned by PropertyChangeEvent for property 
PROPERTY_OPEN_PROJECTS are null.

Workaround is for client code to cache the array of open projects returned by:

public Project[] getOpenProjects()

and then call the same API again in response to the PropertyChangeEvent and 
compute the diffs to detect opened and/or closed projects.

This is very inefficient.

While you're at it, could fix issue #64397.
Comment 2 Milos Kleint 2007-03-26 12:05:31 UTC 
done. values now contain array of projects (as the getter does).

Comment 3 _ sandipchitale 2007-03-27 15:51:27 UTC 
I blogged about this fix here:

http://blogs.sun.com/scblog/entry/monitoring_opening_and_closing_og

I received a commenty asking whether this will be fixed in some hotfix release?

Comment:

...Is there a plan, for releasing netbeans fixes as hotfixes/binary patches ? 
I see no reason in doing so, especially considering that what is affected at 
most is one or 2 classes. So why should one need to get unstable CVS head 
branch for fixes ? Shouldn't netbeans have a update support that can update 
core features for stuff like bug fixes/security updates etc ?

Is there a plan to fix this bug in NetBeans 5.5 hot fix or NetBeans 5.5.1?

P3 bugs are generally not backported. Some P1-P2 bugs are.
