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.
How to reproduce: I tried reproduce this in dev build with sampledir. 1) Mount other filesystem to Explorer 2) Create group to this new filesystem 3) Genereate javadoc for sampledir ( click to examples directory and call from popup menu Tools|Generate javadoc ) 4) Mount this javadoc as filesystem to explorer There are three filesystems in Explorer (.../sampledir) - examples/... (.../my_new_dir) - my_group (.../javadoc) - examples/... 5) copy examples dir from javadoc filesystem and paste it to the created group ->> Chect the files in group There are files from first examples ( source code ), but there should be javadoc ( html ) files This depend on order of fielsystems. The first filesystem is used which contains examples directory.
You wrote "...reproduce this in dev build", but version set above is 3.5. So does this really happen in 3.5?
Yes, it is in 3.5 and dev builds. I tried both.
I reproduced the bug in NB 3.5 beta 1 (build 030423), running on Solaris 8 at Sun Sparc.
This is the result of how content of groups is stored. At the OS level, a group is saved as a plain file containing names of DataObjects pertaining to the group. When there are multiple DataObjects with the same name in the repository, there is no way how to decide which of them (from which filesystem) to choose. See methods GroupShadow.getLinks() GroupShadow.getDataObjectByName(String) GroupShadow.findFileObject(String) The fix will be non-trivial.
As module utilities/group has been removed from the standard build in NetBeans 4.0 and its further development is not planned, I mark this bug as WONTFIX.
