Bug 64261

Could you be more explicit? I don't fully understand the request. What you did,
what you expected, what you saw.

I was talking about it with Yarda. For example the netbeans distribution
contains debugger. The debugger cannot be enabled on JNLP run. A exception was
thrown tha debuggerXXX module cannot be disabled and ide freezed. Another
problem I found  with CLI. The IDE freezed when the CLI tried to connect localhost. 

   

BTW nobody know that a netbeans module is webstartable. Why not to add the
information into module manifest? 
webstartable: FALSE/TRUE

After that we can resolve what could be packed  into jnlp distribution. Is only
idea. May be wrong. 

I'm not sure what the resolution was on this issue when planning JWS support. It
may or may not be feasible to detect automatically that a given module cannot be
safely run under JNLP (using our current technology). Yarda?

Re. debugger - we ought to be able to detect that the module JAR requests some
JDK-only package, and refuse to package it.

Re. CLI - not sure what is going on here. Seems to me that it should be harmless
to package the module, but the CLI functionality will certainly not work. Not
sure why it would cause a freeze. Perhaps the jnlp launcher JAR needs to set
some flag in boot.jar requesting that the whole CLI infrastructure simply be
disabled? It is not appropriate for JNLP mode, I think. (There is a somewhat
analogous facility in JNLP itself, but it is probably not compatible with our
own system.) May be desirable to continue to use $userdir/lock to prevent
clobbering of settings from >1 simultaneous instance, but refuse to accept any
command-line options.

as a result autoupdate, ant and other modules are going to be refused during

I fixed the build scripts. Now the JNLP build fails if ant or autoupdate are 
used. 
 
I do not want to make any changes to UI, as it has been agreed that the 
ModuleList will not check any deps for 5.0 version.  
 
In the original scope of 5.0, this issue is fixed, imho. 

*** Issue 64248 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***

yes this issue is fixed. There should be more user friendly message than:

Yes, the error message should (a) tell you what and why is wrong and (b) tell
you what to do to fix it.

The jnlp build fails on windows. 

Ant's log:

Settings\Administrator\feedreader-suite\build\jnlp\netbeans

P2 -> P1
There is no way how to build jnlp distribution on Windows.

Same bug as yesterday, JNLP just did not work on windows. Which we have not 
found out as we are not running unit tests on different machines daily...
