Description

The project group includes a relatively light web Java project and a heavy supporting "server" Java library. Crashes repeated for the last week of active developement while I attempted to rename some "server" methods. Today I shut down NetBeans, cleared logs directory, restarted NetBeans and produced these logs of the crash for this report. Crash reproduces well at the same point.

This particular crash happened while I tried to refactor-rename a new method in the "server" library. This new method is actually not referenced anywhere at all in any of the two said Java projects. Included in log directory happened to be a dump of apparently unrelated Java class in the web project. My guess though is that crashes while renaming "server" methods happen more likely in those classes which are referenced from the web project.
