cannot rename, move, delete XML files

[Stephan W. Braun]

Hi,

I am not able to rename (...) XML files via NetBeans. After disabling
all XML related modules and restarting the IDE, I could rename the file
if I haven't done anything else with it. After renaming it, it couldn't
be renamed again.

Trying to rename the file via Windows Explorer didn't work either, so I
think there is a locking process on the file.

Does anybody else see this behavior? Should I file a bug report?

Sorry, my system is:

NB 3.6 Beta
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_01-b06)
Windows 2000

It's possible you have a rogue process locking that file. In that case,
it's not Netbeans bug. Otherwise, I'd suspect it is a NB bug.

As for renaming using Windows Explorer, you will have locking issues if
Netbeans is open. My suggestion is to close Netbeans, run the "Task
Manager" and make sure you have no "runide.exe" processes left behind.
Then rename the file. If you still have a lock, you have something
outside of Netbeans locking the file (version control?).

I checked this all - several times. The "Windows Explorer Renaming" was
only a cross check, because this is possible with .java files, even when
Netbeans is up.
So it must be the Netbeans XML processing that puts the lock on even
Netbeans itself can't handle.
