NetBeans Team is So Responsive to Bugs!

This blog just collects some bugs I've filed on NetBeans and the fixes and workarounds they have. Also, I want to take this opportunity to say that the netbeans team is incredibly responsive to bug reports, especially finding and marking duplicates. Us users really appreciate it. Personally, as a member of Sun's JSF team, you are an inspiration for me to be more responsive to my bugs!

• The focus lost bug

  This one appears to be Mac only and apparently the result of a bug in the Mac JDK, which has been filed. Tim Bray reported the following workaround:

  There is a well-known workaround: using the menu, select Edit/Find. Dismiss the dialogue and you have focus back.

• Expand the projects node to the document that currently has the focus.

  I love this one. On the Mac, with emacs mode enabled, the shortcut is Shift-Meta-1. Likewise for the files and and favorites tab it's Shift-Meta-2 and Shift-Meta-3 respectively.

• Support for package-info.java

  There is now a wizard for creating package-info.java. Nice.

There are many more but that's all I have time for now.

  I was hoping they would fix OS X-only 56560, but no such luck.

• Oh they are very responsive to bugs indeed - both Collab and Profiler modules have improved + stabilised tons within the rather short period of time (<1 year?) they were out...
