John,

Thanks for the feedback.  It gives me something to look for when I notice the hanged background processes.

Jason,

Firstly, thanks for your suggestion, however I had already tried that, including shutting down windows, clearing cache, ensuring NetBeans fully loaded (went away and had lunch!) before doing anything,  clean and rebuild the main project.

I even copied the source into notepad (to strip any offending characters), created a new Java Class file in the same package and pasted it in. Immediately the [!] appeared against that file as well!

I then did a grep search of the NetBeans directory for the offending file name and voila!

In my John/var/log/messages.log it is reporting that NetBeans produced an error which I will (as requested) raise as a bug against java/source, but in case you are interested, I have attached the offending log text file.

Apparently the exception is

java.lang.IllegalStateException: java.lang.AssertionError: Method parameter without PARAMETER flag

                at jdk.compiler/com.sun.tools.javac.api.JavacTaskImpl.analyze(JavacTaskImpl.java:383)

Whatever that means!

Again, thanks for your time in responding which led me to think about deducing what might be causing it.

John

John,

I've noticed on NetBeans 12.6 that there are some background processes

that get hung up every now and then.  Close NetBeans and check your Task

Manager and look for any lingering Java processes.  Kill them and

re-open NetBeans.  Let it do it's background scan and check your file to

see if it still has the error indicator.  A tell-tale, that I found, was

that a Clean-Build works to build the project, even with files flagged

as containing an error.  This has even bitten me with building Gradle

projects.
