Netbeans 6.0 unable to display function parameter names

---

A few months ago I talked about switching from Netbeans 5.5 to the latest release, namely version 6.0.

Well I’m happy to say that I have switched back the the previous version, which worked a whole lot better. (And I can honestly say that of the 8 people at my work 7 switched back to the old version).

So what’s going on. Well it seems some essential things are wrong with Netbeans 6.0, being:

• Every single short-cut changed in this version, though not a serious issue it’s definitely an annoyance.
• The JSP parser crashes for unknown an uncertain reasons
• For some reason it’s no longer possible to see the parameter names of functions in libraries. And I just don’t know what a function called doSomething(int int1, int int2, int int3) is supposed to get as input

So back to 5.5 for me. Though it misses some cool features of 6.0 at least the basics work properly.
