The Library Manager will return an error "The javadoc root does not contain the index-files folder or the index- all.html file." when the javadoc root is a UNC path. If I add the same javadoc through a mounted drive or a local path, the Javadoc works fine. Javadocs added using a UNC through the Java Platform Manager seems to work fine. The easiest way I found to recreate the problem is to add the JDK javadocs to a newly created library (this is a known, working javadoc that should always succeed). Adding using the UNC will fail; adding using a local path will succeed: \\mymachine\c$\Development\jdk\jdk-6-doc.zip FAIL C:\Development\jdk\jdk-6-doc.zip SUCCESS This is running on: Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200711260000) Java: 1.6.0_02; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.6.0_02-b06 System: Windows 2003 version 5.2 running on x86; Cp1252; en_US (nb)
