Description Steve Benigan 2002-03-06 09:37:39 UTC

The documentation read:
----------
2. Installation of MDR Binaries
  2. Copy the mof.xml file (for more information on how to obtain the mof.xml 
file see Introduction) into the %folder% folder.
----------

%folder% is not defined in the documentation, however %temp% is.  Placing 
mof.xml in %temp% works but after building and installing the modules, the MDR 
Repository node is empty.
Netbeans 3.3.1, Sun's J2SE 1.4.0, Linux RH 7.2 and Windows XP, latest versions 
of MDR files as of 3/5

Reassigning to responsible developer.

Comment 2 Martin Matula 2002-03-06 18:11:25 UTC

The %folder% is a bug in a documentation. You correctly assumed that 
there should be %temp%. The issue with the Repository node being 
empty is caused by the fact that MDR does not work with JDK 1.4 yet.It 
is already entered as issue 21117. I will try to fix it ASAP. In the 
meantime please use JDK 1.3 or 1.3.1 to run MDR.

Comment 3 Martin Matula 2002-03-07 18:40:05 UTC

Fixed. MDR should now work fine with JDK 1.4 (see resolution to issue 
#21318).
You will probably need to reboot your storage (see "Important note" at 
the bottom of http://mdr.netbeans.org/firststeps.html)
