A colleague noticed a bug in which used the wizard to create a new Action in a platform application, but could not click the "Finish" button on the final screen. He later found the issue to be that the package suggested by the wizard was not a standard package at all, but rather the META-INF/services directory. Here is at least one way to reproduce the problem, discovered in NB 6.5 RC2: 1. In any platform application, right-click a module project node for a module which already contains a META-INF/services registration. 2. Select New -> Other 3. Select the Module Development category, choose Action and then click the Next > button 4. Choose Always Enabled as the action type and then click the Next > button 5. Accept the default settings on the GUI registration screen and then click the Next > button 6. Type a valid name in the "Display Name" textfield At this point, you should see an error message stating "Package is blank or malformed." This is because the default package selected is the META-INF/services directory, expressed as a package. The best/easiest solution is to exclude META-INF and its subdirectories from the list of packages.
