Description: System Config.: Solaris 5.8 and 5.9 with JDK 1.4.0 FCS on olivia and twq-bmwx5 Intel 5.8 with JDK 1.4.0 FCS on sqai3 Build: FFJ EA RC4 build, SDI mode. /net/sqe-vws17/export/home/forte4j_RC4/bin/runide.sh -userdir /tmp/user In Tool->Option->IDE Configuration->Systems->Modules, adding c/c++/fortran support module ccp.jar module results in disabling other three modules: c/c++/fortran editor support cpp-editor.jar, native connector Tool nc.jar and Solaris Native Language module solaris_native.jar. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. From IDE main menu, click on the Tools->Options->System->Modules, right click on the Modules node and choose Add->Module from the pull down context menu. 2. From the Open window, choose the <wholepath>/forte4j_RC4/modules/ccp.jar and click on install button. 3. Then the "Disabling Modules Used by Others..." dialog comes out. First of all, this is not the correct dialog shown up because I'm installing a module, not disable a module even this module may already installed. It should say that the modules is already insatlled or no dialog. Anyway, users normally click on OK, otherwise, they think the module can not be installed. 4. Then you go back to the window Tools->Options->System->Modules, under the modules nodes, you will see C/C++/Fortran Support module is enabled, but other three modules, C/C++/Fortran Editor Support, Native Connector, and Solaris Native Language modules are all disabled. This is also conflict with the information from the Disabling dialog since the C/C++/Fortran Support module is enabled. Evaluation: Name: tn32310 Date: 04/19/2002 Priority verified ====================================================================== (transfered from bugtraq 4650296) Added module exists in IDE. For example you have installed java.jar module. beans.jar module depends on java.jar module. When you install the same java.jar module from NBHOME/modules/java.jar depending modules are uninstalled. This bug is in main trunk too. A comment.
Seems like module system bug. Module is disabled and new version is enabled, but the depending modules are also disabled in the mean time.
No plans to fix. Adding a module means really creating a new module - which just happens to force the old one to be deleted because it has the same code name. The two operations are basically separate steps. The UI could hack around this and try to hide what is really happening in most cases. However adding a module JAR manually using this node is not a normal user use case - average users will stick to Auto Update. It is mostly intended for module developers and testers. So getting obscure use cases right is not a priority here.
Obsolete issue.
