This happens in the 020108_1 build it doesn't happen in the 011217 build. Module jar files that used to install successfully will not install in the 020108_1 build. Various errors result. The most common one is that the layer file cannot be found. I have also seen errors about the manifest not being found (in the form of a null pointer exception). I'll attach one jar that doesn't install successfully anymore.
Created attachment 4085 [details] module jar
Created attachment 4086 [details] dependent module jar (install this one first)
Install genericgenerator1 first then try ServiceLocator. I get the following error: Thu Jan 10 09:23:08 PST 2002: java.lang.NullPointerException: <no message> java.lang.NullPointerException at org.netbeans.core.modules.Module.findExtensionsAndVariants (Module.java:365) at org.netbeans.core.modules.Module.loadManifest (Module.java:349) at org.netbeans.core.modules.Module.<init>(Module.java:112) at org.netbeans.core.modules.ModuleManager.create (ModuleManager.java:273) at org.netbeans.core.ui.ModuleBean$AllModulesBean.doCreate (ModuleBean.java:687) at org.netbeans.core.ui.ModuleBean$AllModulesBean.access$1100 (ModuleBean.java:230) at org.netbeans.core.ui.ModuleBean$AllModulesBean$Updater.run (ModuleBean.java:484) at org.openide.util.Mutex.writeAccess(Mutex.java:325) at org.netbeans.core.ui.ModuleBean$AllModulesBean$Updater.run (ModuleBean.java:412) at org.openide.util.Task.run(Task.java:152) [catch] at org.openide.util.RequestProcessor$ProcessorThread.run (RequestProcessor.java:622)
I cannot explain the exception except that there is a bug in JDK's JarFile and/or Manifest class
