is ve parsing deterministic? [message #94855]

Using VE 1.1.0 with Eclipse 3.1M6. When I shutdown last night my visual
JDialog was fine. When I started today it would only display as a title bar
with a message about an exception and JContentPane needing a receiver.
Closed this window and reopened in VE several times. Got a message about a
different exception one time. On about the 4th attempt, VE parsed the class
cleanly and my JDialog displayed correctly. Have noticed something similar
a few time in the past. Almost seems like there may be multi-threading in
VE parsing that can result in a race coming out the wrong way. Can anyone
explain?

VE parses statements in source and applies them on another VM in the
background. Once applied, the graphics/visuals are updated back in VE.
It could be that what you are seeing is some timing issue. I was
wondering if any exceptions are seen in the logs? If this problem is
reproduceable it would be best to open a defect and detail the scenario:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=VE .
