I've just installed the J2SE version of 6.8Beta. I then selected the "Plugins Window" and tried to install the "EJB and EAR" module. The IDE says I cant' install it, complaining with the following popup window: Some plugins require plugin org.netbeans.modules.javaee.api to be installed. The plugin org.netbeans.modules.javaee.api is requested in version 1.0. The following plugin is affected: EJB and EAR. (I'm attaching a screenshot in a minute). I don'w know how to install the required "org.netbeans.modules.javaee.api" module.

I can reproduce with the beta build, but not with a post-beta development build. When I look at the autoupdate catalog, I see that in the beta build, the catalog does not contain the javaee.api module: http://updates.netbeans.org/netbeans/updates/6.8/uc/beta/stable/catalog.xml.gz However, in the dev build catalog, the catalog: http://deadlock.netbeans.org/hudson/job/nbms-and-javadoc/lastStableBuild/artifact/nbbuild/nbms/updates.xml.gz does contain an entry about the javaee.api module: <module codenamebase="org.netbeans.modules.javaee.api" distribution="enterprise6/org-netbeans-modules-javaee-api.nbm" downloadsize="1659368" homepage="http://www.netbeans.org/" license="29399865" moduleauthor="" needsrestart="false" releasedate="2009/10/24" targetcluster="enterprise6"> <manifest AutoUpdate-Show-In-Client="false" OpenIDE-Module="org.netbeans.modules.javaee.api" OpenIDE-Module-Display-Category="Java EE" OpenIDE-Module-Implementation-Version="nbms-and-javadoc-4163-on-091024" OpenIDE-Module-Java-Dependencies="Java > 1.5" OpenIDE-Module-Long-Description="Library wrapper which provides JavaEE 6 API (full API and web profile API)" OpenIDE-Module-Name="Java EE 6 API Library" OpenIDE-Module-Requires="org.openide.modules.ModuleFormat1" OpenIDE-Module-Short-Description="Java EE 6 API Library" OpenIDE-Module-Specification-Version="1.1"/> </module> This module is a part of the standard distribution, and is needed by the EJB and EAR plugin. So when it is not present, autoupdate will fail. Assigning to Robert - Robert, can you please explain/investigate? Thanks.
