NetBeans beta testing tough?

domingo octubre 02, 2005 | General | Permalink | Comentarios [4]

How is it that NetBeans 5.0 Beta has no bugs? How is it that I have been using NetBeans 5.0 Beta during the whole weekend and found no bugs? That's not fair play! You cannot release a beta with no bugs!

And, on the other hand, how will they select people for the NetBeans team? Wouldn't it be better hiring dumb people for a change? Or even normal people? (That way the Acceptance Testing Program will be easier, right?)

How is it that they've included support for four different application servers, Struts, Java Server Faces, Web Services, a new revolutionary Form Editor, best-of-breed refactoring (including Java 5 annotations, which I didn't expect), developer collaboration and impressive plug-in development... just a beta away from the last release?

What will these guys have for breakfast?

I'm glad to see there're some prizes and gifts for NetCAT 5.0 users. I wish them best of luck. They'll be playing with (against?) a tough team!

Actually it crashes constantly for me. :( I'll have to drop bug reports soon.

Sssshhhh, don't tell anybody... Let me know how to reproduce the bug and I'll submit it for you... so that I can go fetch the gift myself... ;-)

I'll drive the bus later today.

Cheers,
Antonio

Suprisingly it seems to stim from netbeans treating my network mounted home directory, windows network here at work, as read-only and once it creates it, it can't delete it like it trys on startup. Weird thing is, eclipse doesn't have that problem. Gah. :(

Then there is the case of the disappearing CVS menu items... Still can't find a way to get those back, lol! :P

Turning off modules:
org.netbeans.modules.versioning.system.cvss/1 [1.5.1.1.42 1 200509261930] org.netbeans.modules.versioning/1 [1.1.1.1 1 200509261930] java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.netbeans.modules.versioning.system.cvss.ui.actions.annotate.AnnotationBarManager

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Can not find Versioning component


And many more :( And I was going to do a "show-n-tell" today at work for coworkers... Can't with it like this. Netbeans, or Creator for that matter, won't get a fair chance to replace our current IDE it seems.

Hi

Well, I'm extremely lucky then!! ;-)

I didn't know you could mount home directories in Windows (well, I don't use Windows that much, anyway).

Regarding CVS looks like a bad bug!. Just send me the log file by email and I'll file a bug report for you.

Thanks,
Antonio
