This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.

The only issue that is left is issue 19621, so Jesse when you finish that, please close also this one.
Guess this is done for now.
