Description Jesse Glick 2004-05-18 19:48:48 UTC
I can't fathom how this could not have been caught
immediately, except that commit validation oddly
passes even with the bug.

core/windows/nbproject/project.xml 1.2 is broken -
tried to load org.openide.loaders/1 > 4.15 but
there is no major release version for this module.

Symptoms: during startup you see on console:

Warning - could not install some modules:
	Basic Feature - The module Core - UI would also
need to be installed.
	Basic Feature - The module Core - Windows would
also need to be installed.
	Basic Feature - The module Projects UI would also
need to be installed.
	Basic Feature - The module Welcome Screen would
also need to be installed.
	Core - UI - The module Core - Windows would also
need to be installed.
	Core - Windows - The module named
org.openide.loaders/1 was needed and not found.
	Projects UI - The module Core - UI would also
need to be installed.
	Welcome Screen - The module Core - UI would also
need to be installed.

plus a bunch of derivative exceptions from
projects/libraries, and

java.lang.NullPointerException: 
[catch]WindowSystem is not supplied!!!\n

I have a patch I will test and commit. Very simple.
