Netbean version : 20010925 ifdef: nightly vim: /set/workshop/rufous/ifdef/vim_build/sparc-S2/bin/vim xemacs: /net/extend2/opt/SUNWspro/contrib/contrib6.1/XEmacs21.1.9/bin/sparc-sun-solaris2.6/xemacs Load several files into xemacs/gvim from ide explorer. When open one of them again from explorer, xemace/gvim can not switch to this file. users have to manually select it from exmacs/gvim buffer. It seems to users that ide having problem to open these files.
I kindda solved this problem. With my fix it is now working 99% . The only time it fails, happens if one tries to double-click on a filename which is both opened in external editor and which is the selected text buffer in NB's dummy source editor. Since everything is implemented via focus in NB, it ignores if someone tries to open a file which has already the focus. Because of that 1%, I am not marking this bug fixed, but I am only lowering its priority. Two possible solutions to keep in mind which may fix the problem totally are: 1)In DefaultContainerImpl::setSelectedTopComponent(tc) don't return if the TopComponent is already selected. Go ahead and reselect that component. 2)somehow add a listener to the Node so that we get notified each time one double-clicks in Explorer window.
