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.
