Description nvarun 2009-06-18 20:22:34 UTC 
This issue is filed as per the discussion (refer URL) that took place. Actually, I downloaded[1] "Platform and Harness"
module clusters from this website and extracted them into one folder.

[1] http://bits.netbeans.org/download/trunk/nightly/latest/zip/moduleclusters/

Then, I extracted them into one folder named "NetBeans Dev". So, it looks like this
/NetBeans Dev/platform10
/NetBeans Dev/harness

Now, using NetBeans 6.5 IDE, I added this Platform using Tools | NB Platforms and then, switching to Harness tab I
selected 2nd radio button, i.e. Harness supplied with the Platform.

"Selected Harness Version:" label shows 6.5, it should be 6.7?

Then, I tried it with 6.0 FCS and 6.7 RC2, while Tom Wheeler tested it with 6.7 RC3. We observe that the "Selected
Harness Version:" label shows 6.0, 6.7 and 6.7 again for these releases, respectively. I feel its a bug, so I'm filing it.

Actually, I was not able to reproduce the problem about the wrong label being shown for the harness.  That worked as
expected on my machine with NB 6.7 RC3.  I *was* able to reproduce the bug in which the 'platform10' cluster was listed
twice in the startup messages of my suite:

Installation = C:\Documents and Settings\twheeler\My Documents\NetBeansProjects\sample67suite\build\cluster
               D:\temp\nb67plafclusters\plaf\platform10
               D:\temp\nb67plafclusters\plaf\platform10

Tom, the second issue is almost surely unrelated - please do not comment on it here. If you can reproduce some other
problem, file it separately.

Leaving this issue according to its original summary and description - problem with labels.
Comment 3 Jesse Glick 2009-06-18 23:40:50 UTC 
...and WONTFIX: an older IDE cannot recognize a newer harness. A newer IDE _can_ recognize an older harness. Use a new
harness with an older IDE at your own risk.
Comment 4 nvarun 2009-06-19 06:29:17 UTC 
So, thanks for the information that "an older IDE cannot recognize a newer harness". 

Jesse, I have filed the other issue reported by myself and Tom;
