It used to be a feature that allows to submit exceptions along with some other
info to Netbeans development team with a
click of a button.
Now you can only open notification and view the exception stack trace and
that's it. Exceptions do occur regularly and I
mostly ignore them. I did raise this question sometime ago and was told that
now I need to open JIRA ticket manually to
submit any NB problem and supply code samples in Apache GIT.
IMHO it is bad idea and not acceptable for many Netbeans users because
1. It does take more time, which is hard to allocate in busy development
schedule.
2. Many companies (like mine) for security reasons do not allow to use
offsite GIT and JIRA
Therefore, Netbeans team diminishing their ability to fix bugs and other
problems.
For example, yesterday I was debugging an application and wanted to see changes
in the database. I did have SQL window open.
As I switched to this SQL tab, exception occurred and all windows in Netbeans
were garbled.
I saved the stack trace and had to restart NB as it was not responsive.
Here the stack trace:
java.lang.NullPointerException
