SYMPTOMS

IntelliSense may not function within a try-catch block in Visual J++ 6.0.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Create an empty project in Visual J++, and paste the following sample code:
    import java.io.*;

public class Class1 {
  public static void main (String[] args) {
    try {
      BufferedWriter aStream = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("C:\\Temp.txt"));
    } catch(FileNotFoundException err) {
      err.printStackTrace();
    } catch (Exception err) {
      //err.	//IntelliSense does not show methods/properties of err.
    }
  }
}
  2. Uncomment the line of code in the second catch block. IntelliSense does not reveal the method or member variable prompts for "err" as expected.
