The display would be accurate if the 2nd line was getFullSku()::IOrderItem.

It would be considerably more useful in my situation if the 2nd line

I see this occasionally, where clearing the cache fixes it. It's 
difficult to come up with steps to reproduce it. Not sure what you can 
look it without being able to reproduce it.


I have always wondered if some kind of verify-cache/validate-cache is 
around or available. It might be expensive to run. But if you're in a 
situation where it happens frequently, turning it on might help finding 
the problem.

Compile error but no line indicators

[Mitch Claborn]

This happens to me occasionally, usually when editing a fairly large 
java file. The icon in the tab will show a red indicator for a compile 
error, but there are no red indicators on the right gutter to show which 
lines have the error(s). If I'm lucky enough to find one the errors on 
my own, the method call will be in italics, showing an error, but there 
is no red indicator on the right.


Re-opening NetBeans does not help, nor does re-opening the file in 
question. The only way I've found to recover is to close NetBeans, 
delete the cache directory, then re-open NetBeans.


Any ideas? Maybe a bug?

That's long standing (like forever) behavior, probably a swing issue. 
IIRC, the "cloned" window only scrolls when lines are added/removed 
earlier in the file than the position being displayed.


jVi fixed it (back in NB-6.x I think, or maybe even when jVi was only on 
JBuilder); posted an issue but NB wasn't interested in the fix. See 
FreezeViewport.java in the jVi sources.

Context aware keymapping + macro

[Mitch Claborn]

Is it possible to have a macro that is invoked via a key mapping to 
operate differently depending on the contexts in which it is invoked 
(e.g. editing Java vs editing HTML)? Or to have that key mapping invoke 
a different macro based on the context? If so, how?


Example:
When editing a Java file Ctrl+Shift+D inserts "hello Java"
When editing an HTML file Ctrl+Shift+D inserts "hello HTML"

You can display the list of all break points through "Window ->

 From there you should be able to delete everything.

git show history like --follow

[Mitch Claborn]

I'm working with a git repo that is a consolidation of several different 
repos. Many of the files have slightly different paths in the new repo 
vs the old, so in NetBeans, Git Show History only shows back to when the 
repos were combined.


git log --follow from the command line works to show history from the 
previous repo also. Is there a way to do that in NetBeans?

Line breaks in String literals

[Mitch Claborn]

When editing Java source in NetBeans 12.5, if you paste in between a 
pair of double quotes some clipboard contents that contain line breaks, 
the editor breaks the String literal into multiple lines and puts the 
plus sign for string concatenation at the END of the lines.


If you press Enter in the middle of an existing String literal, it is 
broken into two lines with the plus sign for concatenation at the 
BEGINNING of the second line.


The disparity between location of the plus signs causes me extra work on 
occasion (when I've pasted in some stuff and then edit it later, adding 
my own breaks).


Does this bother anyone else?

Re: Automatic config backup?

[Mitch Claborn]

Sweet - I can import from a backed up user directory. That is all I 
need. I already have a nightly full computer back.


Thanks Ernie.

During startup, a plugin could probably backup userdir (make sure cache 
isn't included). I'm not sure what you'd have to do to insure a 
consistent picture. With some digging to find the "Options>Export" 
action, a plugin could probably invoke it around startup; probably wait 
for when UI ready.


Backing it up, a response mentioned rsync, with NetBeans not running 
probably avoids any consistency issues.

Re: Automatic config backup?

[Mitch Claborn]

I could do that, but how would I get the backup file in the same format 
that NetBeans produces, so that it would be easy to import/restore when 
needed?


Is the backup zip file just a copy selected files in the .netbeans 
directory?

The quickest approach would be to write a wrap script around the script

In that script you could use simple copy or more advanced rsync to 
backup stuff to a destination of your liking. If that destination has 
the date as part of the (dir) name, you would have a daily backup. To 
prevent this to fill up you backup space, the script could drop dirs 
older than say 14 days.

Re: removing the "new project" support for Ant projects

[Mitch Claborn]

+1 for not eliminating Ant support for new (or existing) projects. We've 
been using Ant for a long time, and it still works just fine for us, so 
there is no payback in converting to Maven.

I agree, if and ONLY if you provide at least a rudimentary way to
convert ANT projects to Maven projects.   I have been struggling
with this issue too long.  I have hundreds of Ant based projects
that I would love to turn over immediately to Maven... but I can't
, am struggling, and haven't coded a darn line in two months...  I
used to code 10 hours a day ... and now... embarrassed by my

I exaggerate a bit, I still code in "Old" Netbeans 8.2, but I know
the days are numbered...

Is the perception that nobody does Maven EAR's anymore or
that nobody uses EARs? I have a web app that has given me no

I'm trying to move it to Maven. If nobody is using maven then
I need to move to something else. If nobody is using EAR's
anymore then I'm pretty stuck figuring out this Maven issue.

Well, it's several things.
EARs are less popular because their necessity has been greatly
reduced. Session beans can be placed in WARs now, so for many use
cases, a WAR is completely adequate to the task.
However, it's not suitable for all use cases.
Notably, MDBs can not be deployed in WARs. But only as an EJB
either deployed standalone, or bundled within an EAR.
With the hue and cry over micro services and "down with the
monolith", just the idea of a large application bundled in a EAR
is falling out of favor.
Also, there's a history of advocacy underlying this. Sun used
NetBeans as a mechanism to advocate for Java and Java EE. It
behooved them to have something like NetBeans to make Java EE
development easier. So, it was important for NetBeans to have
really first class Java EE support. Bundling the Java EE wizards
and templates along with Glassfish all helped promote that.
Of course, now, with the great Java Diaspora out of Oracle, the
goals and drivers are different.
For your project, if all you have is a web app and some session
beans, then a simple WAR file is good to go. The Ant projects
seem to essentially be deprecated now, so I would not rely on
those for anything. If practical, especially if your project is
young, I would migrate it to Maven. The Maven WAR is a pretty
simple project and seems to work ok. Maven isn't going away any
time soon, Gradle, it's primary competitor, doesn't really have
the traction to overcome it yet, and it's been going for some
time. If nothing else, the pom.xml file has become a de facto
portable project format if, for nothing else, to capture
dependencies.
Honestly, I think NB should have an internal conversation about
removing the "new project" support for Ant projects, while still
being able to open existing ones. It just confuses a lot of
people if they're not going to be supported.
And I still haven't heard any concrete position the project has
on internalizing Maven archetypes used for project wizards, or
the process of adopting that.
Legacy archetypes that used to work in NB 8 are now failing
because they've vanished from Maven central. So, an external
dependency broke an internal feature.

GUI Form Designer "Enclose In"

[Mitch Claborn]

In the GUI form designer, you can select multiple components in the 
Navigator panel, then right click and "Enclose In" to enclose all of 
those components in a Container.  In versions prior to NB 12.0, my 
custom subclass of JPanel would appear in the list to enclose in.  In NB 
12.0 my subclass is not there. How do I get it to show up?


(I do have my subclass in the Palette.)

Weird message on git push remote

[Mitch Claborn]

NetBeans 12.0, Ubuntu 20.04

When I execute Team -> Remote -> Push to Upstream I get the message: 
Push is about to create a new branch "master" in the remote repository. 
Do you want to continue and create the branch?


But, there is already a "master" branch in the remote repository.

If I go the longer route (Team -> Remote -> Push...) and then select the 
appropriate values for Remote Repository, Local Branch, and Update Local 
References) it proceeds smoothly without that message.


Command line (git push origin master) also works without complaining.

What's going on with the first method? Is it maybe selecting the 
incorrect default values? There are a number of Local Branches from 
which to choose.
