I use collab to share a piece of code with another person, where we were working on javadocs - I type directly in the editor while the other uses "Auto Comment Tool" within NetBeans. And after he has changed something at exactly the same place when I am typing, the result is devastating.
Which build please? I've integrated large region locking fix on 11/16.
And the collab/filesharing module with this fix is version 1.0.4, I believe, but certainly 1.0.5.
My machine uses NB5 daily build 200511231900 and collab module 1.0.5; but then it is not certain what the other side uses. If this is causing the problem, I will get the other machine to update its IDE and collab module to further test this issue then.
Both sides need to use updated filesharing, otherwise the 2-phase locking algorith can't be used. Please test it with both clients up2date.
please wait for ~30 mins while I get the other person to upgrade the (slow!!!) machine
Confirmed - the problem persists with both sides having NB5 daily build 200511271900 and the latest Collab module
With the same setup, there are similar problems and more. Source codes on both sides are often out of sync, which also happens even without using ACT - i.e. using editor directly. The other user in question is most likely behind some kind of network filtering services (note: many colleges within University of Cambridge apply these policies + bandwidth limitation to their students, or even staffs in some!) and the user has been experiencing transfer data losses on an occasional basis.
It seems to me that using ACT generally inserts the generated comment text at wrong offset. I'm not sure how does it interact with filesharing...
