Description kitfox 2005-11-29 23:47:19 UTC
Working through the Syntex Highlighting Tutorial
(http://platform.netbeans.org/tutorials/nbm-mfsyntax.html), I came across one
instruction that at first caused my project to fail.

Under Creating the Color Restorer step 2, the user is asked to add the following
line to the manifest file:

OpenIDE-Module-Install: org/netbeans/modules/manifestsupport/RestoreColoring.class

However, it is not stated where in the manifest file it should be added. 
Myself, I mistakenly added a blank line before this line at the very end of the
manifest file.  I had to delete it to get the tutorial to work.

On another note, I know these tutorials are still in draft stage.  Are you
looking for user feedback at this point, or do you want us to hold off until
they are in a post-draft state?

Yes! All feedbacks is VERY highly valued. Was this issue the only one you
encountered in this tutorial? There are several things that I still need to do
in this tutorial, so it's not 100% there yet (but, about 80%). Any and all
feedback is fantastic especially on these slightly more technical tutorials.

Fixed. Please verify that it is clear now.
