Serious bug with jedit 4.2 and FTP plugin on JDK 5.0

Submitted by Anonymous on Friday, 3 September, 2004 - 02:00

Hi,

I have noticed a rather serious bug when using the FTP plugin in jedit 4.2 with JDK 5.0 (both beta 2 and RC1). When I open a ftp folder and choose a file from an ftp site to open in jedit and then modify and save it, the hard drive makes a click sound and turns off, the computer immediately reboots, and when it reboots the hard drive turns back on. I've never experienced this problem with any other program, so I'm wondering what may be the problem here. On some files if I press save it doesnt reboot, but with most files, upon saving the remote file, it reboots immediately. I wonder whether this is a problem with the FTP plugin, jedit, or JDK 5.0?

any help is GREATLY appreciated.
thanks.

It is a virus

I finally found the problem: It is a virus!

It was the Forten-Virus: http://www.policyinfo.com/v-descs/forten.shtml

Neither AntiVir nor F-Prot could eliminate it. I only got rid of it after a Linux Virus-Scan with Knoppix.

Anyway, today I am going to switch to Linux...

jedit 4.2 final

I forgot to mention that I'm using jedit 4.2 final version.

Same reboot problem with other configurations

I just added a comment to the bugTracker regarding the same issue with multiple configurations. You can view more details at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&atid=565475&aid=1017707&group_id=588

I experienced this exact problem

I found the above comment by doing a Google search on "jedit ftp reboot", which more or less demonstrates that I was having the same problem.

Oddly, it does not happen (so far) on one of my computers but happens on another. My XP machine seems to be problem-free, but the reboot-on-FTP-save happens on my Windows 2000 machine. However, one other person seems to be experiencing the problem on an XP machine.

Same problem with XP

I experience the same problem using Windows XP and JDK 1.5 RC, with jEdit 4.2 final. I hope someone can fix it soon.

Similar with WinXP

I'm using Windows XP and the J2re Java thing (the default for Mozilla Firefox). When I try to save via FTP, my system crashes ("A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer").
