I just realized that my last message was ridiculous because I gave it no context. I am trying to learn some of the code in netbeans, I pulled down the latest code for netbeans from Git, I am adding some debug info to the Refactoring API module and I frequently get this error when I try and build the module
error: Bad service configuration file, or exception thrown while constructing Processor object: javax.annotation.processing.Processor: Error reading configuration file C:\Users\Joe\Documents\incubator-netbeans\nbbuild\templates\common.xml:637: The following error occurred while executing this line: C:\Users\Joe\Documents\incubator-netbeans\nbbuild\templates\common.xml:615: Compile failed; see the compiler error output for details. BUILD FAILED (total time: 34 seconds) Hopefully this makes more sense and someone might have an idea as to what my issue is. Thanks, BC
