Description Geertjan Wielenga 2007-08-14 10:21:20 UTC 
An error occurred while launching/running the application.

Title: NetBeans HTML Editor
Vendor: NetBeans HTML Editor vendor
Category: Download Error

Unable to load resource: http://www.netbeans.org/download/6_0/jnlp/org-netbeans-modules-autoupdate-services.jnlp

This is needed for our NetBeans Platform quick start:

1. RE problem; deadlock is building it:

http://deadlock.netbeans.org/hudson/job/javadoc-nbms/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/nbbuild/build/jnlp/org-netbeans-modules-autoupdate-services.jnlp

2. You likely do not want to include the AU module in a JNLP app to begin with. It does not make any sense.
Comment 2 Geertjan Wielenga 2007-08-16 08:47:40 UTC 
So this means that when one distributes via web start, one shouldn't provide an update center. Makes sense, I suppose,
because the modules you want to make available are made available via web start. But what if the user wants to install
something from the Plugin Portal or elsewhere?
Comment 3 Jesse Glick 2007-08-16 12:35:38 UTC 
You cannot mix AU and JNLP. The platform in JNLP mode does not use clusters in the usual way at all. You need to either
provide all desired modules over JNLP (you could in principle offer a servlet-based .jnlp which lets users customize
what they get), or offer a regular AU-based build.
Comment 4 Geertjan Wielenga 2007-08-27 18:42:20 UTC 
Makes sense to close this one, will be explained in tutorial, if at all.
