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 logs I am referring to are the ones you can view via: View > IDE Log and which are logged in the directory: .netbeans/{VERSION}/var/log/messages.log .netbeans/{VERSION}/var/log/messages.log.1 .netbeans/{VERSION}/var/log/messages.log.2 An option to enable/disable would be welcome.
Start NetBeans with --nologging option and no messages.log files will be created. You can add the option into etc/netbeans.conf file.
