The default install of Netbeans comes with the Subversion plug-in, but it is not setup. Attempting to do anything with Subversion will hang the system.
- Browse to Tools -> Options -> Miscellaneous -> Versioning -> Subversion
- Fill in the “Specify SVN Home Folder” field with “/usr/bin”, without the quotes.
- Done, you will need to provide your connection and repository information when prompted
Thank you for the tip. This has been driving be crazy for months!
BTW, this is also a problem with NB 6.8, and your solution works fine.
Thank you very much! This helped a lot. It was weird because it did something (downloaded some files from SVN) so one might thought that all the settings are correct.
I was about to dump Netbeans because the IDE would hang on me about ten times a day due to this “feature”. A simple commit or updating my code would require over a half hour of my time, numerous uses of “xkill”… I was about to throw my laptop out the window, the only thing stoppinng me was the fact that it would have given too much satisfaction to my Mac biggoted co-workers. ;^)
Thanks! I fixed the issue by applying the configuration above, but one day after, the error came back, and now netbeans closes by itself or have to xkill it. I am using netbeans 6.8 with Ubuntu 10.04.
The only thing along these lines I have seen is after making a setting change do an orderly exit of netbeans so that the configuration file gets written.
