Description javydreamercsw 2009-10-16 18:11:38 UTC 
Build 200910150201

On a jnlp deployed application with Update Center configured the installation of updates is not successful. The 
application sees the update and installs it but when it prompts for a restart the installation process is not 
completed.

When you restart the application the update appears again as available.
Comment 1 dlipin 2009-11-04 11:47:59 UTC 
yes, it is not supported at the moment.
Comment 2 Jesse Glick 2010-02-10 09:22:15 UTC 
There is no intention to support this and it may not even be possible. JNLP is a fundamentally different run mode, where the content of the application is determined by a descriptor and placed in a flat classpath. Auto Update is intended only for the regular NB run mode, in which NB bootstrap code discovers and loads modules in a proprietary directory layout.
