I receive the following exception both in first start and in subsiquent starts of the IDE on sources updated at 9:30 AM PDT. This seems to have appeared since Friday of last week. Wed Sep 05 11:40:24 PDT 2001: org.netbeans.core.modules.InvalidException: Module file: F:\src\f4j_all\f4jbuild\firststart\modules\apisupport-ant.jar Annotation: Module file: F:\src\f4j_all\f4jbuild\firststart\modules\apisupport- ant.jar org.netbeans.core.modules.InvalidException: Not a module: no OpenIDE-Module tag at org.netbeans.core.modules.Module.parseManifest(Module.java:255) at org.netbeans.core.modules.Module.<init>(Module.java:113) at org.netbeans.core.modules.ModuleManager.create (ModuleManager.java:265) at org.netbeans.core.modules.ModuleList.scanDir(ModuleList.java:176) at org.netbeans.core.modules.ModuleList.scan(ModuleList.java:156) at org.netbeans.core.modules.ModuleSystem.scanForNewAndRestore (ModuleSystem.java:250) at org.netbeans.core.NonGui.run(NonGui.java:508) at org.netbeans.core.Main.run(Main.java:216) at org.openide.TopManager.initializeTopManager(TopManager.java:120) at org.openide.TopManager.getDefault(TopManager.java:81) at org.netbeans.core.Main.main(Main.java:325) at org.netbeans.core.TopThreadGroup.run(TopThreadGroup.java:90) [catch] at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:484)
This sounds like a build system error to me. Does the mentioned JAR file in fact have a manifest with the OpenIDE-Module main attribute? Does this problem occur in a standard NetBeans build?
Created attachment 2429 [details] Jar fiel causing the problem
I don't know what I was thinking not to attach the jar file. Looking inside the jar in question, I am inclinde to believe that this is a new issue having to do with the use of Ant 1.4 to build the sytsem. Going back to 1.3 seems to be fine. I was playing with 1.4 for other reasons and forgot to change it back prior to doing this build. I just started a clean build and will close this bug if the clean build clears it.
This was completely having to do with using ant 1.4 to build instead of 1.3. The fact that Ant 1.4 causes different outcomes begs other questions but not ones that need to be solved here.
Michael, I have successfully built the whole IDE with Ant 1.4 including apisupport and did not see any problem like this, so I am not sure where your problem is coming from...
Resolved for 3.3.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
Possible duplicate of issue #27572.
