Description Jesse Glick 2004-01-09 16:18:16 UTC
Inspect

www/www/updates/alpha/dev_1.6_.xml (1.186)

and you will find e.g.

OpenIDE-Module-Specification-Version="${tl.suggesions_ui.spec}"
OpenIDE-Module-Implementation-Version="@tl.suggetions_ui.impl@"
OpenIDE-Module-Specification-Version="${tl.editor.spec}"

which produce errors when running the AU client on
the dev alpha server.

I am not sure how such NBMs even got published -
they should have been rejected by the publishing
infrastructure for having malformed specification
versions.

Jesse,

there's no validation of values/parameters.

NetBeans RE plans to work on implementation of following plan:
- implement the proposal regarding change of updating procedure
  of Update Center Alpha (on nbdiscuss@netbeans.org)
- in background invisibly to users:
  - the responsibility for maintaining NetBeans Update Center Alpha
    will be moved to Robert Novak (consolidation under one/current
    Update Centers maintainer)
  - implement already existing tools for updating Update Centers
    (developed by Robert Novak); these tools already care
    of parameter values validation

Robert stated the tools can reject NBMs with invalid parameter values.
We may later discuss notifications about reject - RFE to that tools.
