Remove Previous Version or Field Test Kit Before Installing Version 1.1
Manually remove the previous version of the IDE Server before you install a new kit. This ensures that all old files are completely removed and the new kit is installed properly.
Remote Debugging Java Programs
Debugging Java programs remotely does not work with Java SDK 1.5 Beta 1 on OpenVMS Alpha. This problem will be corrected in a future Java SDK 1.5 release.
Multiple Ethernet Cards on Desktop Machine
Having more than one IP address or hostname on your desktop machine can cause the connection to the IDE Server to fail. To solve this problem, choose a host name or IP address for your client machine and set the RMI hostname property on the command line used to launch NetBeans as follows:
-J-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=<host name or ip address>
See Logical Names if you have multiple Ethernet cards on your IDE Server system.
Client Tested on Windows Only
The Distributed NetBeans client has been tested on Windows only. However, HP believes that the client software will run on other desktop platforms, such as Linux and HP-UX.
Router Using NAT Times Out
If the Distributed NetBeans client initiates the connection to the remote server via a router that uses Network Address Translation (NAT), the connection attempt will time out. This happens because the Java RMI implementation obtains the virtual IP address (private IP address) of the client from the IP packet body, and not from the actual address in the IP packet header. There is currently no workaround for this problem.
C/C++ Errors
Errors in C/C++ source files are marked with red underlining and a red x in the margin. These error markings are cleared only if you modify the line they mark.
Process Termination
Explicitly terminating a process from the NetBeans Runtime tab sometimes does not stop the corresponding remote process on the server.
Open Files in Editor Delays Subsequent Startup
If you exit NetBeans on your desktop with several files from the remote OpenVMS system open in the editor, your startup time when you next invoke NetBeans will be longer than usual. At startup, NetBeans restores the state of the previous editing session, which includes opening all of the files that were open when you last exited NetBeans.
