Whats netbeans without its editor??

Yes... Pretty useless! :-D

This now happened twice to me (the editor disappearing upon starting). There is no error or exception or the like displayed, its just gone. (and doesnt come back by selecting it from the menu either!)

The first time i mv'd my ~/.netbeans out of the way and redid all my settings, pretty annoying!

Now it just happened again and i didnt feel like doing that all over. Luckily mv'ing ~/.netbeans/6.1/config/Windows2Local/ away seems to do it! :-)

Well... I'm just wondering whether i should create a desktop-shortcut for that or if it'll be fixed anytime! ;-)

BTW: I know i could go ahead, signup at netbeans.org, fight my way through their bug-database and report an error... BUT: I really, really, really dislike the current generation of software for dealing with bugs: You very rarely find an issue your currently looking for, you need to create an account to post something and then you need to be really lucky to have it posted at the right place, in the right category and with the right description!

BTW2: This is not meant as a rant against those brave enough to fix bugs reported in any of these systems, just a rant against those systems!! ;-)
