Trying out NB10
My previous laptop broke, so I got completely new one and trying to build my development environment from scratch. Instead of NB8.2 which was working for me (with some glitches) for several years I got the latest Netbeans 10 from netbeans.apache.org First start was unsuccessful. It displayed the start page and froze. Did not respond to anything. I had to kill the process through the task manager. Second attempt was a bit better. At least it did not freeze. However, all menus were displayed in huge font that occupy half of the screen. I went to Options->Fonts and Colors and tried to change the font from size 27 to size 12. I was not able to do that as Netbeans popped me "Authentication Required" window. No idea why it require authentication but I wasn't able to do it. I tried my login credentials or the one I used to register a while back on netbeans.org but neither worked. Same thing happened when I tried to change some other settings. Can some kind soul tell me how do I authenticate there. For the same reason I wasn't able to download a single plugin. Download failed due to connection problems with plugin portal. When I tried to check proxy settings I got the same "Authentication Required". So far NB10 wasn't useful for me. I am far from the noob, only with Netbeans I am working for 20 years (even before Sun Microsystems acquired it), but this release looks half-baked to me. I do understand that Apache incubation will cause some disturbances, but did not expect so many problems.

I did not either — was on a delayed flight to Istanbul... Gj On Tuesday, March 5, 2019, Antonio wrote: > I couldn't make it to this one.
