Except I didn't get a lightbulb for it, just a red square :(

I'll keep an eye on it and see if there are other factors at work that
prevent the lightbulb from appearing.

JavaFX Script Plugin for NetBeans 5.5.1

I recently installed NetBeans 5.5.1. When I attempted to use the update
manager to install the JavaFX plugin I receive an "unable to connect"
message from the NetBeans Update Center Beta server. This has happened
several times over the last three days. I am able to connect to the other
update servers so I dont think it is a firewall problem. Can anyone help?

My system is:
Windows 2000 Pro.
JDJ 1.5.0_04
NetBeans 5.5.1

You should be able to click the red square as well I
think.

Silent Failure during Startup

Hi, all.

I'm successfully running NB6 at home, but starting
it here at work (on a more powerful system), I'm
encountering a silent failure at startup.

I've closed all non-essential processes, and still
nothing.

Any suggestions as to how to go about debugging
the problem?

netbeans 6.0 (M9) refactoring menu

Hi, 

I'm exploring Netbeans 6.0 (M9) on ubuntu 7.x and the
refactoring menu doesn't show all the options. I was
trying to use Encapsulate Fields refactoring option
but couldn't find it under refactoring menu. Checked
with 5.5 and can see it there. Just wondering if it's
an issue with my setup or a bug. 

I appreciate any suggestions on this. 

Thanks,
Vijay

Packaging Suggestion

I'm primarily interested in using NetBeans
to author small, lightweight apps in JRuby.

But to get Ruby support in NB, I need to
download support for SOA, for Mobile devices,
for enterprise apps, and every other package
or plug in that NB supports.

So ironically, to build small, lightweight
apps I need to install the most heavyweight
version of NB possible.

My suggestion is to include support for all
languages--and most especially scripting
languages--in the core package.

When I started closing essential processes, preparing
to reboot, I came across an unexpected dialog:

   Settings from 5.5 were found. Do you want
   to import them?

That dialog was underneath all existing windows, instead
of on top, so I never saw it.

Other notes:

* The human factors on NB is generally awesome. A lot
   of thought has gone into it. When it wanted a jdk,
   and I pointed it to a jre instead, the error message
   said, "No, that won't work. We need a full jdk, not
   a jre." I found that very impressive. It could easily
   have just refused to accept it, and I would have sat
   there for 20 minutes wonder why...
   :_)

* I'm finding performance somewhat sluggish on my 700mhz
   windows box at home. It can take a couple of seconds to
   open a menu. But on my 3Ghz system here at work, it runs
   like a champ. (Guess its time for an upgrade at home.
   Pity. It used to be so fast...)
   :_)

Re: Feedback from someoen trying to convert

Hi,

Actually I asked the same question (about 2) in an other thread and was 
told that it is not in M9, but would be in M10.  See 
http://wiki.netbeans.org/wiki/view/NB6FeaturePlan for specific 
milestones and targeted implementations.  In this case it's covered by 
http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=89595 I think.

Re: Feedback from someoen trying to convert

Yeah, that's weird, for some reason I thought just
earlier I was working and had that issue and it had
generated it for me...must have been imagining it.  I
just tried it out and it wasn't there....maybe I was
in 5.5. I know this works in 5.5 for sure. It must not
be in 6.0 at the moment because of the new Java
infrastructure support. This made much of the code
have to be rewritten to use the new language model.
