Blank License Agreement

Go to Tools|Plugins|Available Plugins tab, select some plugin (e.g. Visual Mobile Designer) and click on Install button. Plugins installer appears, click next and there should be a License Agreement, but its blank.

Works for me on NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201308222300) on Linux. Is it Mac specific? Thanks

It seems to be Mac specific, it also works for me on Linux and Windows.
Comment 4 Martin Kanak 2013-08-23 09:29:14 UTC
Hmm, it is weird, now it works for me also on Mac after restart IDE.

I have the same problem. Ubuntu 14.04.1. 64 bit. Netbeans 8.1. Was trying to download the HTML5 and C++ plugins. This is for a Netbeans+JDK installer I downloaded, for which I selected "All" before downloading, but I'm surprised the C++ and HTML packages were not already present in the installer.

I see the same on Windows 7 with Nb 8.2. This is when using my own Update Center. To help possible to find the culprit it was working very first time I get some updates. Than I was deleting my app and reinstalling (wiping userdire) after when it start happening. It has 2 incarnations:  1) Sometimes after the list of Modules are shown and I press "Next" teh download just starts and the License Agreement screen is never shown at all, 2) other times the License Agreement screen pops up but only showing 1 module in the picklist and the text area is always blank
