Description esmithbss 2010-11-22 21:53:43 UTC 
Product Version = NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201011210001)
Operating System = Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.6.0_20
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 16.3-b01

If you disable Base IDE plugins, then restart the IDE and re-enable the Base IDE plugins, the IDE Branding plugin is not re-enabled.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Clean UserDir

2) Launch IDE

3) Disable all plugins (including Base IDE)

4) Restart IDE

5) Enable Base IDE plugin

If it does not work, don't do it.
Comment 2 esmithbss 2010-11-27 08:06:00 UTC 
You missed the point.

If you disable the module and re-enable it, it should re-enable all parts.  Not a subset.
Comment 3 Jaroslav Tulach 2010-11-29 12:05:34 UTC 
I don't think I missed anything. Just don't disable IDE Base. It makes little sense anyway.
Comment 4 esmithbss 2010-11-30 09:19:17 UTC 
I don't disagree that it doesn't make sense.  

Unfortunately the fact that it doesn't make sense doesn't mean a user will never do it, whether by accident (as was the case with me) or because they think they can because the IDE doesn't stop them.

Either way, this can happen.

And when it does, if the user attempts to re-enable the IDE Base modules, not all of them will be re-enabled.

After doing the above following modules remain disabled:

$ grep enabled.*false nbbuild/testuserdir/config/Modules/*                                                                                                   
nbbuild/testuserdir/config/Modules/org-netbeans-modules-autoupdate-pluginimporter.xml:    <param name="enabled">false</param>
nbbuild/testuserdir/config/Modules/org-netbeans-modules-ide-branding-kit.xml:    <param name="enabled">false</param>
nbbuild/testuserdir/config/Modules/org-netbeans-modules-uihandler-exceptionreporter.xml:    <param name="enabled">false</param>
nbbuild/testuserdir/config/Modules/org-netbeans-modules-welcome.xml:    <param name="enabled">false</param>
Comment 6 Jaroslav Tulach 2011-12-05 12:21:21 UTC 
All of these modules come from nb cluster.
Comment 7 Jaroslav Tulach 2014-05-09 12:06:45 UTC 
Let's give up and live with current behavior.
