Description _ jimdavidson 2007-09-11 17:05:48 UTC 
Using a 6.0Beta1 build, MacOS.

Create  or open a project (e.g., Visual Web or Java Application).  Open and close a couple of files.

Click File -> Open Recent File.  Menu is empty.  It should (presumably) show the files that have been closed.

I have not found a way to get entries to appear on this menu.

I cannot reproduce it.

Whatever I do, recent file menu is filled OK both on my Linux and Windows. Can you test on other systems to verify that
this is Mac specific? Please test with basic java application.

recent files action is utilities..
Comment 3 _ jimdavidson 2007-09-13 05:41:14 UTC 
I just tested this on Windows, and it worked fine.

I created a basic Java application, and opened/closed a number of files.  The files were added to the top of the Open
Recent File menu, as they were closed.

So, the problem appears to be Mac-specific.
Comment 4 David Simonek 2007-10-04 09:16:14 UTC 
fixed in main trunk:
/cvs/utilities/src/org/netbeans/modules/openfile/RecentFileAction.java,v  <--  RecentFileAction.java
new revision: 1.8; previous revision: 1.7

Btw, was caused by Mac JDK - main menu events are completely different then on other platforms, I wonder how it can even
work...funny Mac :-)
