Description unai 2014-01-28 14:38:52 UTC 
[ JDK VERSION : <1.7.0_25 ]

Reproduced on Windows Vista x86.

Upon running the updater (Help | Check for updates, etc.) I get different
failing scenarios (sometimes one sometimes another one, in an apparently
non-deterministic fashion):
- either I get an error message stating that some plugins require the full JDK
(but that is installed, and I'm running NB on top of that)
- or the download fails
- or I get an error message only containing the following URL
"http://deadlock.netbeans.org/job/nbms-and-javadoc/lastStableBuild/artifact/nbbu
ild/nbms/platform/org-netbeans-libs-osgi.nbm"
- (after trying some 7-8 times, through different days, the update eventually
succeeded)

Not really a useful bug report, for there are no special how-to-reproduce
steps; however, I thought I still had the duty to at least report it
nonetheless, because there was something smelly going on up there in that
update process.

In addition, upon closing NB, an error dialog that states "Cannot find class org/netbeans/updater/UpdaterFrame" is shown, and after clicking OK NetBeans is re-launched automatically. Therefore there is no way to close NB, unless you kill the process, shut down the OS, etc.

same experience with windows 7 (both 32/64 bit) and 7.4 development version

Yes, it was a bug already fixed in recent Dev builds.

I guess it's dup of issue 240557.

Both of them have been fixed - download the latest Dev build from bits.netbeans.org/download/trunk/nightly/ where the problem should not be reprodibible anymore.
