NetBeans 6.8M2

I am getting error report dialogs as attached every 10 seconds or less so I can't use NetBeans anymore for editing
source files.

The dialog pops up in addition to the hint at the right bottom corner.

I have tried settings as follows

"C:\Program Files\NetBeans 6.8 M2\bin\netbeans.exe"  -J-Dorg.netbeans.core.TimeableEventQueue.report=100000
-J-Dorg.netbeans.core.TimeableEventQueue.quantum=100000

after reading

http://wiki.netbeans.org/FitnessViaPostMortem

but these don't help.

Would someone please provide instructions on how to turn this annoyance off.

It really does not help because after all the users who use the software are humans and not robots.

If the NetBeans development community wants more feedback from users then they have to get the users to spend more time
working with the IDE.

This unusual trick just annoys the users, distracting them from productive work and even error reporting.

All this error reporting and making test cases takes a lot of my time already and I would appreciate if I could actually
get some work done.

I have just re-opened a slowness issue with test case:

Unnecessary redeploys by "deploy on save"
http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=152222

The slowness reporting tool did not help at all in this case.

Sorry, I closed this prematurely. The dialog starts popping up again.

We need to know your IDE log when the exception thrown to see what is a cause of the problem. IDE is available in
View|IDE Log. Thanks for attaching it.

The log is already attached to another issue which is duplicate of this.
http://www.netbeans.org/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/90075/messages.log.zip

Currently the IDE is frozen from startup. The log file has grown to 39MBytes in one day.

I don't feel slowness so much. I just cannot work with these pop-ups.

NullPointerException

This bug is about disruptive error reporting, not about the error itself.

For some time I thought that this was a feature of the beta/RC builds, but now it happens in the final release. Interesting, just before I clicked on the (-) red icon on the status bar to invoke the exception reporter. This has possibly switched the behavior from the red icon display to the dialog pop-up.
