Every time I shutdown NB it show up a splash dialog saying "The Update Center is now updating the IDE. Please wait..." but if never end. My pc was turned on for all the night (from 18.00 to 9.00 of the next day), but it won't finish. I'm on a DSL always on, and nb is correctly configured, since I can download update from update center inside the ide.
looking in the taskmanager, I noticed two instance of runide.exe
running runide.exe in the shell it printed Bad update_tracking org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Premature end of file. at org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser.parse(DOMParser.java:267) at org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderImpl.parse(DocumentBuilderImpl. java:201) at org.netbeans.updater.XMLUtil.parse(XMLUtil.java:58) at org.netbeans.updater.UpdateTracking.readModuleFromFile(UpdateTracking .java:301) at org.netbeans.updater.UpdateTracking.readModuleTracking(UpdateTracking .java:283) at org.netbeans.updater.ModuleUpdater.unpack(ModuleUpdater.java:303) at org.netbeans.updater.ModuleUpdater.run(ModuleUpdater.java:131) java.lang.NullPointerException at org.netbeans.updater.ModuleUpdater.unpack(ModuleUpdater.java:304) at org.netbeans.updater.ModuleUpdater.run(ModuleUpdater.java:131) My NetBeans\update\backup\netbeans\update_tracking folder is empty while the NetBeans\update_tracking has 84 .xml files. I looked to xml files in \NetBeans\update_tracking and all seems to be well formed. Another information: when I downloaded updates I choosed to install them later. Now I downloaded them again and choosed to install now: it closed the ide and started to install updates. The problem shoud be on JellyTools, 'cos the exception was thrown when update was processing it. Hope this could help.
oh-ho, It did the same even when I choosed to install only "JUnit test"
Which AU center do you use?
David, you mention all xml files in \NetBeans\update_tracking are ok. Could you have a look in update_tracking directory in your userdir and let me know if the xml files there are also ok (if any files are present there). If you find an empty xml file there, this would be a duplicate problem of 34355 (http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=34355).
Hi Antonin I purged xml dir and downloaded again all modules and it worked. I looked at issue 34355 and ... yes, I the problem is the same! *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 34355 ***
verifying duplicity.
