Netbeans 5.5 also suffers from this bug.

Is your temp directory on local or network drive?

Core team - sorry for prying into your affairs...

hegjon,

could you please advise where can I get all those JDKs that you have (/usr/local/jdk-1.5.0, /usr/local/jdk-1.6.0, /usr/
local/jdk-1.7.0) and how to install it? 
(I have a fresh install of OpenBSD 4.3 and not much experienced with it)

What are the versions of that JDKs? 
/usr/local/jdk-1.5.0/bin/java -fullversion
/usr/local/jdk-1.6.0/bin/java -fullversion
/usr/local/jdk-1.7.0/bin/java -fullversion

What JDK NetBeans is running on? can you post the info from Help->About dialog at this issue?
Does this issue happen if you run NB on the other JDK (e.g. using bin/netbeans --jdkhome /usr/local/jdk-1.6.0)?

Thanks,
Dmitry

t_h: My temp directory is on a local disk

Hi, Dmitry.

>could you please advise where can I get all those JDKs that you have (/usr/local/jdk-1.5.0, /usr/local/jdk-1.6.0,
/usr/local/jdk-1.7.0) and how to install it? 

As explained here http://openbsd.org/faq/faq8.html#Programming; OpenBSD cant redistribute binary packages, and you need
to build it from source. OpenBSD ports collection helps you.

Download and extract ports.tar.gz as root to /usr (ftp://ftp.uninett.no/pub/OpenBSD/4.3/ports.tar.gz)
1. tar -xvf ports.tar.gz -C /usr
2. cd /usr/ports/devel/jdk/1.5/ and type `make install`
Follow the instructions, (you need to download some files and put them into /usr/ports/distfiles)
This is the short version, and will take some time.
If your getting in to trouble and are using the amd64 version, I can make the the binary packages for you.
You can read more about the ports collection here: http://openbsd.org/ports.html
and more about the package system here: http://openbsd.org/faq/faq15.html

Good luck! :)

I have tried all my version, getting the same output on all of them (jdk 1.7 also gives me a ugly font).

The output is sometimes fine, not sure whats causing it

IDE log

just FYI, I think i've seen something similar on my ubuntu too some time ago.. AFAIK restart of ide helped in my case

hegion,

what locale are you running in when starting netbeans ?
what does help->about report about locale/encoding ?

are there any non basic ascii characters being used in the program,
in the path where nb is installed, in path or name of userdir,
in name of project or files under it ?

what is the project encoding property of this project ?
(see project properties to find this value)

ken.frank@sun.com

could be jdk font mapping - especially if for some other locale,
the font specified by output window might not found - am assuming
its a standard jdk font that is then mapped to real os font,
but also perhaps its hardcoded to a font that is not standard
jdk name or not one found in font props of jdk being used.
especially since all characters are not shown ok, and we assume
that some/all of them are basic ascii characters.

Please hegjon, Dmitry,
could you help us with verifying this issue? I have no OpenBSD machine available here to reproduce it.

Still reproducible with 6.5RC1 (200810171318) with both jdk 1.5 and 1.6.

OpenBSD is unsupported platform => P3

unsupported platform

(In reply to comment #20)
> OpenBSD is unsupported platform => P3

I appreciate that OpenBSD is an unsupported, but could advise me where output window text is generated in the source code?

Thanks

Fred

PS Thanks for a great IDE - it works well on OpenBSD apart from this font issue
PSS This issue is still happening with OpenBSD 4.6 and Netbeans 6.7.1

Product Version: NetBeans IDE 6.7.1 (Build 200907230233)
Java: 1.7.0-internal; OpenJDK Client VM 17.0-b01
System: OpenBSD version 4.6 running on i386; ISO646-US; en (nb)
Userdir: /home/fred/.netbeans/6.7

Product Version: NetBeans IDE 7.3 (Build 201306052037)
Java: 1.7.0_21; OpenJDK Server VM 23.21-b01
Runtime: OpenJDK Runtime Environment 1.7.0_21-b11
System: OpenBSD version 5.4 running on i386; UTF-8; de_DE (nb)
User directory: /home/schulte/.netbeans/7.3
Cache directory: /home/schulte/.cache/netbeans/7.3

Looking at this bug, the issue still exists. Is there any solution/workaround to this ?

This is the first result on Google (currently) for "netbeans output garbage", so I hope comments directed at end-users coming in from Google are not out of place.

The problem seems to be a disagreement between character encoding to use between NetBeans and Maven.  The default configuration works for default installs on supported platforms.  This config change may be useful in other situations.

In ~/NetBeansProjects/*/build.xml, at the top level (under <?xml...>), where "*" is your project (or repeated for each project):

  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>3.0.5</version>
        <configuration>
          <encoding>US-ASCII</encoding>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>

I'm using build 201511130002.  Change <encoding></encoding> to UTF-8 or UTF-16 as appropriate.  This matches the encoding shown in the Help->About dialogue box for me.  I was not able to add this to java/maven/conf/settings.xml in the distribution to accomplish the same thing.  Likewise, I don't see where in the config menus to change the same thing.

* likewise, change 3.0.5 to your version of Maven.
