Manuel Iglesias commented on NETBEANS-3158:
-------------------------------------------
I have only experienced the bug of reference with 'netbeans.11.1' and, as
stated above, it only happens sometimes. It is quite clear to me that the bug
is due to 'nbjavac' & 'javafx' plug-ins that somehow corrupt installed plugins
data. As those plug-ins are not installed in 'netbeans.11.2' I can not tell you
if the bug also occurs in that version.
I use 'ufw' with a default configuration (ports forwarded for 'amule' &
'transmission') but I have been using it, with the same configuration, for
years.
I always install 'netbeans', with your installer, as root (system-wide), and
the installer finds, and accepts, Java (/usr/local/Bins/D.Java) without any
problems. The permissions are set by your installer. As I told you I have been
using the same scheme for almost 20 years without any problems.
In a previous comment you said 'Indeed, nb-javac and javafx should not be in
the list in 11.2. They’re distributed differently in 11.2'. It may be that the
new distribution of those plug-ins will have removed this bug when a new,
functional, version is released. I am willing to stay on 'netbeans.11.1' until
that happens.
Thank you very much for your efforts, Geertjan.

> Key: NETBEANS-3158
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-3158
> Project: NetBeans
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: platform - Plugin Manager
> Affects Versions: 11.1
> Environment: Linux Cinnamon Mint 19.2
> Reporter: Manuel Iglesias
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: messages.log
>
>
> Installed plugins data seems to get corrupted with normal use. 'netbeans'
> then requests re-installation of 'nbjavac' plugin which fails.
> Problem can be reproduced in this way:
> # Run 'netbeans' without --userdir & --cachedir options # Default values
> '$HOME/.netbeans/11.1' & '$HOME/.cache/netbeans/11.1'. First run.
> Open new project so that installation of 'nbjavac' & 'javafx' plugins is
> triggered.
> Install plugins and exit.
> # Run 'netbeans' with --userdir $HOME/Test/.netbeans/11.1 --cachedir
> $HOME/Test/.cache/netbeans/11.1 options. # First run.
> Open new project so that installation of 'nbjavac' & 'javafx' plugins is
> triggered.
> Install plugins and exit.
> Run sequentially:
> * netbeans
> * netbeans --userdir $HOME/Test/.netbeans/11.1 --cachedir
> $HOME/Test/.cache/netbeans/11.1
> After a few times:
> * Directory $HOME/.netbeans/11.1/config/Modules is empty.
> * 'netbeans' requests re-installation of 'nbjavac' (which fails).
> * Tools/Plugins/Installed shows that there are no active plugins.
> EDIT: It seems that it may not be necessary to run, sequentially, 'netbeans'
> & 'netbeans --userdir ... --cachedir ...'
> to reproduce the bug. I started netbeans (running 'netbeans') and before its
> window appeared (it takes a few seconds)
> I tried to close an editor (another application). Just when I mouse-clicked
> the netbeans' window appeared and I closed
> netbeans instead of the editor. Next time I started 'netbeans' the bug
> appeared (plugins data corrupted, etc).
