Description abs 2005-12-01 16:09:24 UTC 
I create module project. And I try to create new Action usgin Action wizard.
(Actually I read NetBeans IDE 5.0 Plug-in Module Quick Start Guide and try to 
create MyFirstModule.) However, Action Wizard part 3, (GUI Registration) all of
select box is disabled. So I can't create plug-in module on Linux.

My environment is as follows,
OS:Linux Kernel 2.6.14 (Gentoo Linux)
Java: jdk1.5.0_05
NetBeans:200511291900 (daily build)
Comment 1 Martin Krauskopf 2005-12-02 08:43:15 UTC 
Isn't the problem that all comboboxes are just being (slowly) loaded. Since this
wizard need quite a lot of information from SystemFileSystem, it is somehow
slow. Mainly in the first invocation. There should be "Please Wait..." status in
those combobox. After data are loaded comboboxes are enabled.
Should be also recognized by 100% CPU utilization :) But this should take so long.
Comment 2 Martin Krauskopf 2005-12-02 09:55:50 UTC 
More info needed...
Comment 3 Tomas Danek 2005-12-05 12:27:58 UTC 
Works for me on Linux with 2.4.21 kernel, IDE build #200511291900, and jdk1.5.0_05. 

Please, 
add more info and then reopen, thanks in advance.

I try some other test and found problem. I install NetBeans on /opt as root user
using installer.
And I use NetBeans as normal user. I try to user NetBeans as root user, this
problem doesn't happen. So problem is permission.
Comment 5 Jesse Glick 2005-12-07 05:04:30 UTC 
Works fine for me after copying a dev build to a temp dir and making it chmod
-Rv a-w, then running IDE on a fresh userdir and making a fresh project and
adding an action.

Perhaps your *project* directory is r/o?
Comment 6 abs 2005-12-07 17:22:32 UTC 
I test again and again. And I found it depends on directory situation.
If I create new directory and create new project there, action wizard work fine.
However if I create new project on directory that contains openide and nbbuild
project, I can't create new action. (openide and nbbuild are checked out from
NetBeans CVS repository.)

I explain how to reproduce this problem.
1. create new directory.
2. check out openide and nbbuild from NetBeans CVS repository.
3. create new module project.
4. try to add new action using action wizard.

then on GUI Registration stage, dialog just show empty.
Comment 7 Martin Krauskopf 2005-12-07 17:59:52 UTC 
Ok, than it's clear. Those module simply don't provide any Menus, Toolbars, ...
Please checkout ideally whole 'stable' alias if you want to develop plugin in
NB_CVS tree. But you probably want to create external module outside of NB CVS
tree where module behave differently (see NB_DIR/harness/README for more details).
Comment 8 Tomas Danek 2006-01-16 13:55:56 UTC 
wizards are working, but as mentioned, complete checkout needed. Or you can
download just build. Closing.
