Description brettryan 2013-09-10 02:32:54 UTC

Today I'm finding that paste just won't work, either via the menu or through the hotkey. There have been two notable instances.

1). I could copy and paste within Java files, I could copy from one file or same and paste back, but I could not paste into any JSP file
2). The reverse happened, I could copy and paste within JSP files, but not Java files.

In both cases I could paste into other parts of the ide, like the search bar for example.

Product Version = NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201309090001)
Operating System = Mac OS X version 10.8.4 running on x86_64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.8.0-ea
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.0-b45

Is your case different or in fact identical to issue 230061, which was escalated to JDK as the following bug?

Antonin, actually that is exactly the issue. I have found several compatibility issues with JDK8.

I do apologize, I do mean to use JDK7 when starting but when using dailies I often forget to update net beans.conf. There isn't a way to set the NB JDK from my home dir or something?

No need to. It's good to have bugs reported early.

Instead of editing netbeans.conf you can create your script to run NetBeans with --jdkhome parameter. Not sure though if on OS-X you can register the script as an app with an icon, or you may need to run the script from console.
