This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
When the user checks for updates and there are no updates available, the wizard anyway jumps to the second step and shows empty tree (with just the Update Center names in it). Suggest to stronger emphasize to the user that no updates exist by popping a message box saying "No updates found" and not jumping to the second step.

Some more notes for the implementation: - when some of the selected Update Centers do have updates and some do not, the UC wizard should allow to go to the next step, and only display those Update Centers that have some updates available. The "No updates found" message in such case would not be displayed - when the IDE checks for updates on the startup, it should do the same, i.e. view the "Updates Found" vs. "No updates Found" as one unit, and prompt the user with "Updates to your IDE found. Do you want to review and install them?" in case at least one of the selected update centers has something available. In case no updates are available, the IDE should not display anything to the user.\ - in case proxy is misconfigured for the automatic startup check, a message saying "Cannot connect to the Update servers, please check your proxy settings or network connection" with the "Proxy Settings..." button and "Do not automatically check for updates" checkbox.
Next specifications are satisfied, integrated in maintrunk.
