--------------------------------------------
Summary: nb-javac is source of several issues
Key: NETBEANS-5292
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-5292
Project: NetBeans
Issue Type: Bug
Components: java - Compiler, java - Editor, java - Hints
Affects Versions: 12.2
Environment: Gradle 6.8.1
Possibly any JDK version 11
nb-javac installed
Reporter: Netbeans User 2019
There are several issue reporting NullPointerException and in logs even several
related to hints (In context of Tools > Options > Editor > Hints).
So my suggestions are:
1) to be deactivated all hints and retested with and with and without nb-javac
as seems that many issue like this is connected nb-javac, but It could be even
possible that hints are not revised at all from start and even it is possible
that could be ticked to run by import from prior version of Netbeans, but it
could be unsupported in new version.
2) turn off of nb-javac does not fix issues like these, because it seems that
that states is ignored and nb-javac is still somehow in use ... so only option
is to uninstalled completely (so to see in notification request for
installation) - so it has to be fixed that if it is inactivated should not be
used
3) to be added even new feature to reset all Hints to default
4) seems that even some of such failure (even reported as race condition) that
leads to cases that it is not finished indexing so particular classes are not
index so even not visible by dialog to of types and in java editor is
represented as errors and there is not way to removed that reds, because there
are no way to tell to Apache Netbeans that such class is existing and it is
correct.
5) "Background scanning of projects..." is even running for minutes with
nb-javac installed
Even if it is not done in minor version I would like to see it in major version
fixed.
To me it seems that nb-javac brings more issue than save
