Description javydreamercsw 2012-01-25 14:42:47 UTC 
Product Version = NetBeans IDE 7.1 (Build 201112071828)
Operating System = Windows 7 version 6.1 running on x86
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_02
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 22.0-b10

In issue #207735 after making it work with the process described there I still ended with some modules not downloaded:
Warning: no numbered cluster matching bare name 'C:\Users\jortiz00\Desktop\suite1\netbeans701\extra' found.
Warning: no numbered cluster matching bare name 'C:\Users\jortiz00\Desktop\suite1\netbeans701\javafx' found.
Warning: no numbered cluster matching bare name 'C:\Users\jortiz00\Desktop\suite1\netbeans701\sappy' found.
Warning: no numbered cluster matching bare name 'C:\Users\jortiz00\Desktop\suite1\netbeans701\stableuc' found.

Extra is created when plugins are downloaded in a shared place. Sappy is on a different url and I assume the rest are as well. For this great feature to be flexible for platform developers it needs to support defining additional catalogs as fall backs of each other if the module is not found there. maybe using the same variable but separated with commas or something.

If you want to use multiple update centers, modify platform.xml accordingly. (*) The canned build scripts cannot possibly support every scenario.

(*) As community-ruby does to download org-netbeans-libs-junit.nbm, needed to compile jellytools.jruby against though not just to run unit tests.
