jdk 1.5.0, ide built from today's cvs

It seems the xml layer is messed up, I see no projects tab in the
explorer. It's not even in the windows menu

I can not reproduce this problem.
- can you check it on some normal version of JDK?
- are you sure that its caused by debugger - I see some exceptions
from web module & projects

easily reproducible w/ on Linux, clean userdir, both jdk 1.5.0 b50 and
1.4.2_04.

No I am not sure that this problem is caused by the debugger

I have downloaded latest build from NB continuous build:
http://nbbuilder.czech.sun.com:8080/nbcbfiles/dev/builds/NetBeans-dev-20040507-1418.zip
works without any problems!

I must be mad, happens to me every time

I've seen one of my classes in the trace, so I tried to reproduce -
got IDE built from today's sources, have Linux and can't reproduce
(tried 1.4.2_04 and 1.5b32c) either. Strange.

the problem seems to be related to my Linux machine, it works if I
boot into windows.  The projects/libraries module fails to install
which causes all sort of trouble

Reassigning to projects.  Tomas Z may know more

I have the same experience as Trung. We need firststart to be part of
build as a sanity check together with commit-validation!

IMO it is related to latest change in nbbuild/cluster/properties where
a lot of modules is removed from nb.pkg.ide. If you go to
Tools|Options it is visible that Deprecated API is disabled as it
can't find module providing CompilationEngige (core/compiler). All the
stuff depending on deprecated API is disabled then.

Minor bug is that LibraryTypeRegistry accesses folder in SFS but does
not define it and relies on some other module that will define it
(java/j2seplatform perhaps).

#41451 and separate build of platform, ide and feature packs

It's Michal's bug. I have a working patch. His last commit made
ide/features/basic an autoload which broke all sorts of things. Also I
have better diagnostics for the problems Radim mentions with
projects/libraries (poor robustness in that module).

Re. deprecated API - it was mistakenly in the build but not used by
anything. I will fix that too; lack of maintenance by either RE or
WebApps caused that.

BTW I have no idea why this would work for anyone. My
nb4.0/config/Modules/org-netbeans-features-basic.xml said it was an
autoload which clearly would break the build completely. Maybe some
other bug causes it *not* to be marked as an autoload sometimes? :-)

Jesse, thanks.  I've already lost at least 4 hours try to find the bug
on my machine, including rebooting the machine :-(

Eagerly awaiting your patch

committed     Up-To-Date  1.4         ide/features/basic/build.xml

should do it, I hope. Again, no idea how this could have worked for
anybody to begin with. Maybe depends on random aspects of the build
order or something.
