Description Petr Jiricka 2013-09-04 10:10:53 UTC 
Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build web-main-11529-on-20130904)
Java: 1.7.0_25; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 23.25-b01
Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.7.0_25-b15
System: Mac OS X version 10.7.5 running on x86_64; UTF-8; en_US (nb)


1. Start IDE with an empty userdir, zip build with no server registered
2. Create a Java EE application, in the process register GlassFish 4 and use it as the target server
3. Debug this application

=> Popup dialog appears in the IDE saying "Use port 9009 to attach the debugger to the GlassFish instance. [Ok]" However, debugging seems to work fine.

This only happens to me the first time, when I do that next time no message appears.
Comment 1 Petr Jiricka 2013-09-04 10:22:45 UTC 
The same scenario works fine with Tomcat, so the problem seems to be on the GlassFish side.
Comment 2 TomasKraus 2013-09-04 11:23:41 UTC 
I know about this popup showing up for a long time but I never considered it as a bug. And it was never reported as a problem by users.

This popup allows you to change default debug port when used for the first time (e.g. debug port value is being initialized). And it only happens in a situation when there is no debug port stored in server properties.

So do you really consider this as a P2 bug? Looking at the code and the way how it was made it is implemented feature that is there for years.
Comment 3 Petr Jiricka 2013-09-04 11:44:56 UTC 
Ok, I understand now. In that case I agree this is not P2. I still think the message is superfluous and confusing, and should be removed.
Comment 4 TomasKraus 2013-09-04 11:47:11 UTC 
OK, will remove it.
