Created attachment 133951 [details] How the lib is declared in nblibraries.properties
Shared library does not cope with Javadoc being an http URL. This problem must exist in both EE/SE project types. I do not remember when "Add URL" was added to Javadoc section in Ant Libraries manager but sharable libraries were not updated to cope with that change. As a short term workaround you can remove those two lines from nblibraries.properties: libs.JasperReports-3.7.6.javadoc=\ http://pos.apache.org/apidocs and everything should work again.
is likely related to issue 212877 (which was fixed and the code attempts to cater for http javadoc urls) and issue 229135 which has occurred in recent builds.
in latest dev builds, I can add a library to a project with shared (project level) libraries and add an url for javadoc and experience no problems with opening on restart. (in j2se project)
