Description Jesse Glick 2011-04-08 12:33:12 UTC

Installed RC2, agreeing to install JUnit, and started in fresh user dir. Log file after main startup sequence confirms

Yet in Plugin Manager (opened not long after startup from welcome screen link), "Installed" does not list JUnit, and "Available Plugins" does. Later when I reopen the dialog it is correct, so some kind of refresh problem.

Comment 1 Petr Cyhelsky 2011-04-13 08:55:09 UTC

The junit is usually installed after 10-30s delay after the first start of ide (but can be MUCH longer if some big projects are opened) - because of this the projects which need junit (even newly created ones eg. anagram game) have reference problems during this time. In case of longer delay or fast clicking it is even possible to resolve them by installing junit from plugin portal( and in the process AGAIN agreeing to the junit license).
IMHO the delay is too long and should be shortened if not eliminated completely.

Comment 2 Jaroslav Tulach 2011-04-13 13:23:13 UTC

Solveable by downloading the JUnit directly from installer. Using following trick:

nbexec -cp install-callback.jar -J-Dnetbeans.mainclass=installer.Callback

the Callback class then will have as good proxy as any NetBeans application and can perform the download (via AutoUpdateTask).

Product Version: NetBeans IDE 7.0 (Build 201104080000)
Java: 1.6.0_24; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 19.1-b02
System: Windows 7 version 6.1 running on x86; Cp1252; de_DE (nb)

With first start and empty userdir I get this exception:

This will happen if you have an ergonomics-based build, or otherwise do not have the IDE's Java support enabled. It is harmless as the JUnit libs are then downloaded directly via HTTP.

Since JUnit could be installed during IDE installation so this issue is not so important => decreasing to P4
