Broken NB 6.7.1 source ZIP file?

[Dietmar May-3]

Hi,

 

I'm having difficulty doing anything at all with the netbeans-6.7.1-200907230233-src.zip file downloaded from netbeans.org.

 

Seems that WinZip thinks it's an empty archive - at least nothing is displayed and the archive can't be "tested", though WinZIP doesn't warn about an invalid archive file. Running jar -x on the file just hangs - jar never completes, and no files are extracted.

 

I've downloaded the file twice. Both files appear to be the identical size (haven't comp'd 'em yet, but) both exhibit the same behavior.

 

Would someone kindly verify that this file is indeed valid?

 

Thanks.

Hmmm, unzip on redhat EL4 works ... WinZip 11.1 and jar 1.5.0_20 on windows, don't ...

 

Ideas?

Maybe you are starting from a directory with a long pathname. Windows has a quite onerous restriction on total file length. Try starting from C:\ or similar.
