Hi misc,
I'm running -current i386 with netbeans 5.5 and jdk 1.7 from packages,

everything works fine except Netbeans output window, it shows some

characters in square when I compile sources in output window, for example:
<<
Copying 1 file to /home/mani/src/java/MXPAPI/build/web/WEB-INF/lib

Copying 152 files to /home/mani/src/java/MXPAPI/build/web/WEB-INF/classes

Compiling 2 source files to

/home/mani/src/java/MXPAPI/build/web/WEB-INF/classes

Copied 1 empty directory to 1 empty directory under

/home/mani/src/java/MXPAPI/build/web/WEB-INF/classes

compile:

compile-jsps:
And unfortunately they are most critical messages (for example errors),

screenshot file attached.

I found these two unsolved threads in mailing lists with the same problem:
http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/openbsd-misc/2007/11/28/455228/thread

http://www.mail-archive.com/ports@openbsd.org/msg18704.html
any idea?
thanks,

Mani

Yes, apparently several people have the same problem.  I do too.  My

guess is that it's not a font problem but probably something like a

race condition somewhere, because in my case I've seen from time to

time part of the output being printed correctly.
For your information, about two weeks ago I compiled netbeans 6.5.1

(directly from the source code, not from ports) and jdk 1.5 (from

ports) on -current and the same problem was there too.

Ok, so the problem exists in netbeans 6.5.1 on OpenBSD just like in

OpenBSD's netbeans 5.5 port. The next question would be, is it present

on other OSes as well? For  shits and giggles, I've just installed

netbeans 6.5 on Ubuntu. I've never used netbeans and I'm not a

programmer, but if you told me a series of tubes^W steps that

reproduces this issue under OpenBSD, then I could try the same steps

and see if I can reproduce on Ubuntu 9.04, i.e. if it's in any way

OpenBSD's "fault" or it netbeans is just fucked somehow.

I tried netbeans 5.5 and 6.0 on Gentoo and FreeBSD previously with no

problem, So I guess it's a OPENBSD issue with netbeans, also searching in

Google about "netbeans ouput font problem" only returns result with OpenBSD.

I didn't try to reproduce problems on another machine but for me steps were

like this:

1- using -current on i386

2- sudo pkg_add -v jdk-1.7.0.00b43p0

3- sudo pkg_add -v netbeans

4- create a java project on netbeans and edit and compile few times.
But problems with netbeans seems to be growing, after few hours of working

It's very slow and hangs when I try to delete files from project, also

starting netbeans with my default project takes 3 to 5 minutes!  (In loading

Modules ... )

I guess I have to use eclipse.

I see. If you were still interested in me testing shit with Ubuntu,

you'd have to tell me exactly what source code file to download and

open and compile in order to reliably reproduce. (Me writing Java

code? Fuggedaboutit.) But I guess you're already checked out that

angle with Gentoo and FreeBSD, so you may not need me to do that. The

only thing I thought, in terms of the bug's behaviour, are we sure

it's not just a missing font or two? I did note that when I installed

netbeans on Ubuntu, it required me to install these additional fonts:
ttf-bengali-fonts ttf-kannada-fonts ttf-oriya-fonts ttf-telugu-fonts

ttf-wqy-zenhei
Of course, if you're happy to leave it and just use Eclipse, then

well, I guess that also settles things.
