This issue has already 100 duplicates see http://statistics.netbeans.org/exceptions/detail.do?id=54068
This bug has had over 100 duplicate exceptions and has been untouched for 8 months. Added to the other SQE bugs e.g. PMD and FindBugs settings being ignored, it makes the SQE plugin virtually useless. Projects offered via the NetBeans Plugin Centre should meet minimum quality standards, standards that this plugin clearly does *not* meet. In addition, the 8 months of silence on this issue makes it clear that this project is dead I'm therefore requesting that it be removed from the NetBeans Update centre.
Some comments: 1. SQE is not served via NetBeans Update Center. It is offered via its own update center. 2. This project is not DEAD, I just have to work for a living! 3. Newer binary releases are available, but they are even more experimental. 4. A new release is being prepared addressing a lot of issues that are actually filed for SQE. 5. Please be gentle.
The SQE Update Centre appears as an install option in the standard module list, which then allows you to install the broken SQE modules. Until SQE is usable, it should be removed. That's not 'forever' but until it is usable it shouldn't be in the standard mosule list, even if indirectly.
The 6.7 update will not have this code any more.
