I tried install all available plugins and run NB, then uninstall and restart each time NB on start up generated warning that some plugins could not be found/loaded because of plugin dependency the strange thing is that before it could install such plugin and later uninstall I selected all plugin to uninstall (up to 100) but after restart most of them were still installed, looks like NB has problem with installing and uninstalling up to 100 plugins, it works correct for one, five plugins but not for 100
reassign to autoupdate for evaluation
Unreproducible on the last build (http://bits.netbeans.org/download/6.0/pre-rc1/nightly/latest/zip/) >System Info: Product Version = NetBeans Platform Dev (Build 200711140000) Operating System = Linux version 2.6.22-14-generic running on i386 Java; VM; Vendor = 1.6.0_05-ea; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.6.0_05-ea-b06; Sun Microsystems Inc. Both reported use-cases worksforme: 1) Install All available plugins + Restart + Uninstall as same plugin as installed before + Restart => no warning, all uninstalled plugin went away 2) Check All installed plugins and Uninstall them + Restart => No plugins (excepting Platform) found.
I tried with dev build but no progress with reproducing this so looks like some other dependencies... --> verified
I think that the problem is that if user uninstalls plugin but does not restart NB plugin is not marked as uninstalled and if some other plugin is installed then after restart this message may be generated 1. remove directory with profile 2. uninstall editor and gui builder (should be fine) but do not restart NB 3. install new plugin C/C++ 4. restart NB - message about missing plugins is fired if user uninstalls plugins then they have to be marked as uninstalled so NB checks dependencies for new plugin correctly and do not let install plugin B if it requries plugin A which will be removed after restart Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200711150000) Java: 1.5.0_13; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.5.0_13-b05 System: Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86; Cp1250; pl_PL (nb)
A edge case: if an user uninstall a feature, don't restart IDE and then install some plugin which needs feature marked for uninstall there no wonder that some module are missing after restart. I agree it's a bug but very rare case.
moving opened issues from TM <= 6.1 to TM=Dev
Reassigning to the new "autoupdate/*" owner dlipin.
