I thought my problems with installing modules was limited to 020108_1 which I had just started using. Now that I'm back on 011217 I am having the same problems so it seems that 3.3's module system is generally flakey. I have tried for 2 days to get module installation/removal to work reliably but every attempt so far to workaround one problem has led to another. Sadly I must abandon 3.3 and go back to Pilsen to get some work done. However I will try to record here as many manifestations as I can: 1) Tools->Options->IDE Configuration->System->Modules->MyModule->Delete produces (note that the mf-layer file is in the jar and the IDE didn't complain about it's absence when it installed it): [org.netbeans.core.modules] *********** Exception occurred ************ Thu Jan 10 10:51:28 PST 2002: java.io.FileNotFoundException: JAR entry webservic eclient/resources/mf-layer.xml not found in C:\Programs\FFJ\011217\modules\WebSe rviceClient.jar java.io.FileNotFoundException: JAR entry webserviceclient/resources/mf-layer.xml not found in C:\Programs\FFJ\011217\modules\WebServiceClient.jar at sun.net.www.protocol.jar.JarURLConnection.connect(JarURLConnection.java:9 8) at sun.net.www.protocol.jar.JarURLConnection.getInputStream(JarURLConnection .java:108) at java.net.URL.openStream(URL.java:798) at org.apache.crimson.parser.InputEntity.init(InputEntity.java:209) at org.apache.crimson.parser.Parser2.parseInternal(Parser2.java:471) at org.apache.crimson.parser.Parser2.parse(Parser2.java:305) at org.apache.crimson.parser.XMLReaderImpl.parse(XMLReaderImpl.java:442) at org.xml.sax.helpers.XMLReaderAdapter.parse(XMLReaderAdapter.java:223) at org.xml.sax.helpers.XMLReaderAdapter.parse(XMLReaderAdapter.java:200) at org.openide.filesystems.XMLFileSystem.setXmlUrls(XMLFileSystem.java:241) at org.openide.filesystems.XMLFileSystem.setXmlUrls(XMLFileSystem.java:201) at org.netbeans.core.projects.ModuleLayeredFileSystem$1.run(ModuleLayeredFil eSystem.java:111) at org.openide.filesystems.EventControl.runAtomicAction(EventControl.java:89 ) at org.openide.filesystems.FileSystem.runAtomicAction(FileSystem.java:388) at org.netbeans.core.projects.ModuleLayeredFileSystem.setURLs(ModuleLayeredF ileSystem.java:107) at org.netbeans.core.projects.ModuleLayeredFileSystem.removeURLs(ModuleLayer edFileSystem.java:151) [catch] at org.netbeans.core.modules.NbInstaller.loadLayers(NbInstaller.java:560 ) at org.netbeans.core.modules.NbInstaller.unload(NbInstaller.java:270) at org.netbeans.core.modules.ModuleManager.disable(ModuleManager.java:584) at org.netbeans.core.ui.ModuleBean$AllModulesBean.doDisable(ModuleBean.java: 578) at org.netbeans.core.ui.ModuleBean$AllModulesBean.doDelete(ModuleBean.java:5 11) at org.netbeans.core.ui.ModuleBean$AllModulesBean.access$800(ModuleBean.java :230) at org.netbeans.core.ui.ModuleBean$AllModulesBean$Updater.run(ModuleBean.jav a:471) at org.openide.util.Mutex.writeAccess(Mutex.java:330) at org.netbeans.core.ui.ModuleBean$AllModulesBean$Updater.run(ModuleBean.jav a:412) at org.openide.util.Task.run(Task.java:152) at org.openide.util.RequestProcessor$ProcessorThread.run(RequestProcessor.ja va:622) Turning off modules: WebService Client Creator [webserviceclient/1 1.0 ${buildnumber}]
2) Installing module gets null pointer exception (see below). After I get this on one module I get it on other modules too. If I exit and restart the IDE I can usually get one module to install OK (and other modules already installed are still usable). [org.netbeans.core.ui.ModuleBean] *********** Exception occurred ************ Thu Jan 10 11:13:25 PST 2002: java.lang.NullPointerException: <no message> java.lang.NullPointerException at org.netbeans.core.modules.Module.findExtensionsAndVariants (Module.java:36 5) at org.netbeans.core.modules.Module.loadManifest(Module.java:349) at org.netbeans.core.modules.Module.<init>(Module.java:112) at org.netbeans.core.modules.ModuleManager.create (ModuleManager.java:273) at org.netbeans.core.ui.ModuleBean$AllModulesBean.doCreate (ModuleBean.java:6 87) at org.netbeans.core.ui.ModuleBean$AllModulesBean.access$1100 (ModuleBean.jav a:230) [catch] at org.netbeans.core.ui.ModuleBean$AllModulesBean$Updater.run (ModuleBean .java:484) at org.openide.util.Mutex.writeAccess(Mutex.java:330) at org.netbeans.core.ui.ModuleBean$AllModulesBean$Updater.run (ModuleBean.jav a:412) at org.openide.util.Task.run(Task.java:152) at org.openide.util.RequestProcessor$ProcessorThread.run (RequestProcessor.ja va:622)
3) Here's another error I got trying to delete a module. This time I was deleting a module called ServiceLocator contained in ServiceLocator.jar. The file it is complaining about was a jar for a module I had previously deleted. Output from log: [org.netbeans.core.modules] *********** Exception occurred ************ Thu Jan 10 11:17:47 PST 2002: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Expected "</filesystem>" to terminate element starting on line 3. : jar:file:C:\Programs\FFJ\011217 \modules\WebServiceClient.jar!/webserviceclient/resources/mf-layer.xml Nested annotation: Expected "</filesystem>" to terminate element starting on line 3. java.io.IOException: Expected "</filesystem>" to terminate element starting on line 3. : jar:file:C:\Programs\FFJ\011217 \modules\WebServiceClient.jar!/webserviceclient/resources/mf-layer.xml at org.openide.filesystems.XMLFileSystem.setXmlUrls (XMLFileSystem.java:248) at org.openide.filesystems.XMLFileSystem.setXmlUrls (XMLFileSystem.java:201) at org.netbeans.core.projects.ModuleLayeredFileSystem$1.run (ModuleLayeredFileSystem.java:111) at org.openide.filesystems.EventControl.runAtomicAction (EventControl.java:89) at org.openide.filesystems.FileSystem.runAtomicAction (FileSystem.java:388) at org.netbeans.core.projects.ModuleLayeredFileSystem.setURLs (ModuleLayeredFileSystem.java:107) at org.netbeans.core.projects.ModuleLayeredFileSystem.removeURLs (ModuleLayeredFileSystem.java:151) [catch] at org.netbeans.core.modules.NbInstaller.loadLayers (NbInstaller.java:560) at org.netbeans.core.modules.NbInstaller.unload (NbInstaller.java:270) at org.netbeans.core.modules.ModuleManager.disable (ModuleManager.java:584) at org.netbeans.core.ui.ModuleBean$AllModulesBean.doDisable (ModuleBean.java:578) at org.netbeans.core.ui.ModuleBean$AllModulesBean.doDelete (ModuleBean.java:511) at org.netbeans.core.ui.ModuleBean$AllModulesBean.access$800 (ModuleBean.java:230) at org.netbeans.core.ui.ModuleBean$AllModulesBean$Updater.run (ModuleBean.java:471) at org.openide.util.Mutex.writeAccess(Mutex.java:330) at org.netbeans.core.ui.ModuleBean$AllModulesBean$Updater.run (ModuleBean.java:412) at org.openide.util.Task.run(Task.java:152) at org.openide.util.RequestProcessor$ProcessorThread.run (RequestProcessor.java:622) Thu Jan 10 11:17:47 PST 2002: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Expected "</filesystem>" to terminate element starting on line 3. org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Expected "</filesystem>" to terminate element starting on line 3. at org.apache.crimson.parser.Parser2.fatal(Parser2.java:3182) at org.apache.crimson.parser.Parser2.fatal(Parser2.java:3176) at org.apache.crimson.parser.Parser2.maybeElement (Parser2.java:1513) at org.apache.crimson.parser.Parser2.parseInternal (Parser2.java:500) at org.apache.crimson.parser.Parser2.parse(Parser2.java:305) at org.apache.crimson.parser.XMLReaderImpl.parse (XMLReaderImpl.java:442) at org.xml.sax.helpers.XMLReaderAdapter.parse (XMLReaderAdapter.java:223) at org.xml.sax.helpers.XMLReaderAdapter.parse (XMLReaderAdapter.java:200) at org.openide.filesystems.XMLFileSystem.setXmlUrls (XMLFileSystem.java:241) at org.openide.filesystems.XMLFileSystem.setXmlUrls (XMLFileSystem.java:201) at org.netbeans.core.projects.ModuleLayeredFileSystem$1.run (ModuleLayeredFileSystem.java:111) at org.openide.filesystems.EventControl.runAtomicAction (EventControl.java:89) at org.openide.filesystems.FileSystem.runAtomicAction (FileSystem.java:388) at org.netbeans.core.projects.ModuleLayeredFileSystem.setURLs (ModuleLayeredFileSystem.java:107) at org.netbeans.core.projects.ModuleLayeredFileSystem.removeURLs (ModuleLayeredFileSystem.java:151) [catch] at org.netbeans.core.modules.NbInstaller.loadLayers (NbInstaller.java:560) at org.netbeans.core.modules.NbInstaller.unload (NbInstaller.java:270) at org.netbeans.core.modules.ModuleManager.disable (ModuleManager.java:584) at org.netbeans.core.ui.ModuleBean$AllModulesBean.doDisable (ModuleBean.java:578) at org.netbeans.core.ui.ModuleBean$AllModulesBean.doDelete (ModuleBean.java:511) at org.netbeans.core.ui.ModuleBean$AllModulesBean.access$800 (ModuleBean.java:230) at org.netbeans.core.ui.ModuleBean$AllModulesBean$Updater.run (ModuleBean.java:471) at org.openide.util.Mutex.writeAccess(Mutex.java:330) at org.netbeans.core.ui.ModuleBean$AllModulesBean$Updater.run (ModuleBean.java:412) at org.openide.util.Task.run(Task.java:152) at org.openide.util.RequestProcessor$ProcessorThread.run (RequestProcessor.java:622) Turning off modules: Service Locator [Manishe/1 1.0 ${buildnumber}]
4) Here's another error I got trying to install the module I just tried to delete. Similar to the error in (2) but this time another module that I had neither tried to install or delete is mentioned!

see issue 19291 for the jar files
Jeff, it works for me perfectly. I tried to install your module jars/uninstall them/restart the IDE in between many times. And it worked flawlessly each time. I played with FFJ EE Orion C/B build 20020111-0631 and kit 020110. Please try to find some reproducible testcase. Start with a fresh userdir. And then reopen this bug.
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> verified.
