change editor scrollbar color
Hello, When working with a large file, the scrollbar (thumb?) becomes very small, and since its color is "light gray" (I think) it is difficult to see or find quickly while working. Can the color of that bar (or the thumb therein) be changed? I couldn't find it in the various color-setting panes in "options". There are many posts concerning scroll bars that a user creates using Swing, but that's not the question here. I'm talking about the scrollbar that always appears on the right in the editor. Thanks.

keyboard shortcut - accented characters - NB 16 editor - Windows 10
Hello, with the help of this group I can now display accented characters in the output window and in the editor. However, I need to add accented characters: because I have upwards of 1,000 such characters to enter, I am hoping there are keyboard shortcuts, such as exist in Windows apps, and such as I was able to use in a Linux installation of NetBeans. In Linux I was able to set it up so that right-Alt + "`" + "a" produced the character "a" with an accent (ague or grave, I forget...). In Windows applications there are also such shortcuts but they don't work in the NB editor. Thanks. Chris Lanz 340 Dunn Hall, SUNY Potsdam lan...@potsdam.edu 315 268 1547
no main class error: strangest fix
Hello, I use NB 16 on Windows 10. On a very large project that has been running for years, lately, I get the "cannot find or load main class" error about once a day. Yes, removing the cache fixes it, but so does something else: comment out whatever code you just added or changed run the program (it has always, then, worked at this point (so far knock on wood - about a dozen instances )) replace the code you removed run the program At which point the same code now finds the main class that it couldn't before, and runs normally. I am unable to duplicate this on a small test project - it just never gets the error in the first place. Anybody have any suggestions for avoiding this time-wasting error? Thanks. Chris Lanz, Assoc.

Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: NB 16 code template expansion
Hello, problem solved, with one surprise:
I didn't realize that the expansion of code templates is limited to locations
where the expansion would create correct code, so some of my tests (that led me
to believe I had a problem) were invalid. I never discovered this because
(apparently) I never used "sout"+tab except where it would create legal code.
Most tests I now make follow this idea. The counter examples are
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) { <> }
in which replacing "<>" with "sout" + tab produces "System.out.println("");",
exactly as expected.
However, in
or (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) <>
replacing "<>" with "sout" + tab produces "sout" and a tab's worth of spaces. A
for-each loop to traverse an ArrayList behaves exactly the same. OTOH an "if"
statement doesn't share this property, nor does a "while" loop.
It is curious that the "for" loops will only expand the template if their
controlled blocks are surrounded with curly braces. I have duplicated the
problem after restarting NB and/or reboot. Caveat: I have not tested this
situation on more than 2 projects. I use NetBeans 16 running on Windows 10.

Adding either of your suggestions (eg. -J-Dsun.stdout.encoding=utf-8, or on a
recent
JDK -J-Dstdout.encoding=utf-8) to .conf both had no obvious, immediate effect,
but having added those items, and then running with the line "System.setOut(new
PrintStream(System.out, true, "UTF8"));" and finally the output of
System.out.print() of an accented character is correct!
Now I have to test other aspects of using these characters, but at least this
one part of the problem is possibly solved. We'll see if these changes have
some undesirable side-effects as I work for the next few days.
Thanks so much!

Then it's possibly not (just) file encoding you want to set, but also
system out encoding (eg. -J-Dsun.stdout.encoding=utf-8, or on a recent
JDK -J-Dstdout.encoding=utf-8)
See also https://github.com/apache/netbeans/issues/4771 and related.
You can always set command line arguments like this in the Windows
shortcut as well as the netbeans.conf file. I find that better as you
can set up multiple shortcuts.
You can also consider setting the environment variable mentioned in
that issue and linked - JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS
Or it's the font ..
This is all a little confusing and annoying if you ask me, but then
that's Windows for you! :-)
Best wishes,
Neil

Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: font for accented characters
Hello,
Thanks for responding.
I believe the file encoding is UTF-8: the dialog
Project Properties / sources
has a box labeled "encoding", and it is set to UTF-8.
I have added -J-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 to netbeans.conf, and then, of course, I
restarted Netbeans
System.out.println("ī") produces a question mark as the output. Same for ā
A StackOverflow source said that the Program Properties/General page includes
an "encoding" entry. There is no such entry in my installation (Netbeans 16 on
WIndows 10). The only mention of "encoding" in Project Properties is under
"sources". I can find no mention of it in Tools/options, either in "editor",
"fonts & colors", or anywhere else.

Hi Chris,
A quick question:
1. Is your file encoding UTF-8?
At least for NetBeans 15, the configuration file is located in wherever
you installed NetBeans\etc. It's called netbeans.conf.
In my netbeans.conf, I've added -J-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 to
netbeans_default_options.
I haven't tried this with NetBeans 16 yet (upgrade today most likely),
but several people at $work have used prior versions of NetBeans and
have added characters with diacritics.
Using the Character Map and copying the result into a text file worked
on NetBeans 15. An acute accent e showed up in a text file, was saved,
opened, and the diacritic was displayed properly.
The character showed up properly in other UTF-8 aware editors.
. . . just my two cents

fresh install netbeans 12 windows 11 won't launch
Hello, I see many posts about earlier versions, but my question doesn't seem to have been addressed, or anyway, I can't find it. I just installed java jdk 18 64bit for windows and netbeans 12, on a new windows 11 machine. The splash screen appears, and gets through "done loading modules" and then the blue & white window disappears, and no netbeans launch appears to have happened. Suggestions? Thanks.

interface files suddenly locked
Hello, Running netbeans 12 in ubuntu 14.04, two interfaces that have never been locked before are, today, suddenly locked. Both interfaces in a particular package are now locked. The compiler can't find these interfaces nor any class that implements them. Is there any way to unlock files in NetBeans? I tried making a new file and typing the code into it, but it was also locked. I tried restarting netbeans, but the two interfaces are still locked. Thanks.

popup question
Hello, After a crash, some of the settings in my NetBeans 12 installation were changed. It used to be that when I typed the period after a class name, the fields & methods (summary) would pop up. I have tried settings described in "Code Assistance in the NetBeans Java Editor" but I can't find the right setting. Any suggestions? Thanks.

hashCode question - resolved
Hello, I have received all the information I need, and you can get all of it in this thread. It turns out, that even though all my tests resulted in identical output of hashCode(), later implementations of the JVM might not use the same function. Thus I will write my own hashCode functions. I did this anyway when I used to work in Pascal. Thanks for all the detailed replies! Chris Lanz Department of Computer Science 340 Dunn Hall, SUNY Potsdam lan...@potsdam.edu 315 268 1547
hashCode: same every run?
Hello,
Oracle's documentation for hashCode asserts:
Whenever it is invoked on the same object more than once during an execution of
a Java application, the hashCode method must consistently return the same
integer, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the object is
modified. This integer need not remain consistent from one execution of an
application to another execution of the same application.
It would be helpful if I could rely on hashCode always to return the same
integer for the same object.
The documentation implies that I cannot rely on the function in this way. I
have tested it several times, and the same integers are returned every time,
between separate runs of the application, after exiting and restarting
NetBeans, and after rebooting the computer. But it's not possible to do
hundreds of tests, so I'm asking if anyone knows enough about this method to
say that it will always return consistent values.
Here is the code I used for testing (I am only concerned with calls to hashCode
on Strings):
public static void main(String[] args) {
String s1 = "asddh:2 qwert:3 zxcv:4";
String s2 = "poiuy:19 lkjhg:22 mnbvc:27 jghfkd:16";
String s3 = "lakdnofgneoqwinelkvnlzjkndoafoibvklaznbdslvnvlaksv";
System.out.println(s1.hashCode()+" "+s2.hashCode()+" "+s3.hashCode());
}
Thanks very much.

using JExcel with Netbeans 12 running over Ubuntu 14.04
Hello, One of our fellow correspondents has suggested that I repeat this question. I am following their advice. Please forgive me. I need to use the jxl library in Netbeans 12 running in Ubuntu 14.04. I have followed the directions available online: * adding the jxl-2.6.jar file to the classpath * placing the jxl-2.6.jar file in the same directory as the source * placing it in a new folder called "+libs" * adding a new library containing it * importing the classes and yet NetBeans is still unable to find the classes in the library, saying "the jxl package does not exist". I haven't found any instructions specifically for Netbeans 12 on linux - please let me know if they exist. It is likely that I'm missing some step in the process, so please mention all the necessary steps after download/extract the zipped .jar file.

support in the absence of community help
Hello, I have asked a question here and on stack overflow. No answers were forthcoming. In such a situation, are users simply hung out to dry, or is there any option for support from Apache-Netbeans, or any other NetBeans-savvy source? I would happily pay for it, but I would rather not pay the $1,200 that their business support plan requires, for one question.

netbeans Jexcel
Greetings, I need to use a few of the jxl classes in a NetBeans project. I have tried to follow the instructions available on-line, although I couldn't find any explicitly for NetBeans 12 in ubuntu. The jar file was downloaded and extracted, and its location placed in the classpath for the project. And yet NetBeans says "the package jxl does not exist". It seems there's a step that was not detailed in the online solutions. Here are the classes I need, and the statements that generate the error: import jxl.Cell; import jxl.Sheet; import jxl.Workbook; Here are the entries in classpath user/local/netbeans-12.0/netbeans/java/modules/ext/AbsoluteLayout.jar home/chris/Desktop/java-netbeans-stuff/jexcelapi/jxl.jar Maybe I need another library, instead of placing this path in the default?

memory allocation for JVM - "file too big to open safely" [netbeans] [java]
Hello, I am running NetBeans 12 in Ubuntu 14.04. When trying to load a file of text, I get the message "It seems that the file is too big to open safely...etc...". I have changed the netbeans.conf and app.conf files to include -J-Xms512m -J-Xmx2048m but I still get the error. I want to try increasing the allocation(s) for the JVM itself, but I can't find instructions to do that when you're using NetBeans, only for times when you're running "javac" and "java" commands in a terminal -- my installation doesn't recognize the "java" command - if it did I'd enter java -J-Xms512m -J-Xmx2048m Any suggestions?

print before take Scanner input not working
Hello,
For many years, and both with NetBeans and with just a terminal, I have used
methods like this, to prompt the user to enter (say) an integer:
public static int inkeyInteger( String message ){
System.out.print( message );
Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);
return console.nextInt();
}
Now in NetBeans 12, this code fails - the message is not printed until after
the user supplies data to the Scanner.
I have tried all the possible orderings of these 3 lines of code, and passing
the Scanner, etc. etc. I have searched StackOverflow.
It can be worked around if I print the message before calling a method
containing the scanner definition and next() call. This will require changing
hundreds of method calls throughout a large program.
Is there a workaround or patch etc.?
