dev build not rendering GUI properly
Hey Everyone again,
So I had mentioned yesterday I built the sources at
https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans.git. Today I created a Java
application consisting of a frame, a panel, and a button. It displays in
preview properly but when run the button is tiny, presumably because its
label isn't rendering. If I open this project in NB 8.2 the behavior is
the same. If I edit the GUI in 8.2, even trivially, then it displays
properly when run even when reopened and run in the NB I built. As soon
as I edit the GUI again in my built version the button labels are gone
again, also in 8.2. I haven't gotten any farther than that yet. I
haven't tried any other GUI components yet.

Might be worth checking, but IIRC ant 1.9.9 fixes an issue that was only
introduced in 1.9.8, so the build does complete with some earlier ant
versions.

Just a wee update: I copied the dev build over to windows 7 and had the
same behavior. I don't know if that is a valid test though. Is this
behavior a result of building the sources on my Ubuntu 14.04 install and
then is carried over to windows or should I have recompiled on windows?
I guess there's only one way to find out but I barely use windows, ant
isn't in my path, must be installed though because NetBeans needs it,
yes? I have some time on my hands later, I'll see.

Okay, I've installed ant 1.9.9 and recompiled and still the same thing
going on with the build seemingly corrupting, for lack of a better word,
the .form file so I'll file an issue I guess.
That would be done here?
https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/NETBEANS/summary
I'll have to create an account I see. Okay.

Yes, for me here. I built the sources on the same machine using Ubuntu
14.04 but I'm just seeing now the requirements listed at
https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans call for ant 1.9.9 or
above. I have 1.9.3 installed. I will try upgrading ant and recompiling
this evening and see if that makes any difference but since the build
succeeded I'm skeptical that is the cause, maybe.

So if I understand you correctly, the dev builds are "corrupting" form
files (and version 8.2 works fine). Is that correct?

Re: dev build not rendering GUI properly
Posted by Mark Wade <ma...@optonline.net>.
It isn't so much that it happens in 8.2 also but that once the dev build
edits the frame.form file, whether it was created with 8.2 or the dev
build then running the project from 8.2 or the dev build will fail to
render fonts in buttons or labels. Both designers will render properly
and preview properly but the app will not render the widgets properly
when run.
All I need to do is make any slight edit to the GUI with 8.2 and it will
run properly from both. The edit can be trivial; adding a label or
button, deleting a label or button or just add a letter to a label,
maybe even a resize, haven't tried yet, I think just touching it with
8.2 will do it and the opposite is true for the dev build.
There are subtle differences in the frame.form file after editing with
each install but nothing that jumped out at me, though not that familiar
with them. I will look further.
> And, so that someone can reproduce it, can you provide an issue and steps?
I can, though I never have. I'll try to do that over this weekend.

So, this happens in 8.2 too?
And, so that someone can reproduce it, can you provide an issue and steps?
