Created attachment 117428 [details] Log file See 252401263ef7 for diagnostic patch. I run NB with a custom --userdir and --cachedir. In the current dev build, every time I try to start the IDE I get an error that halts startup while the splash screen is still showing: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Were trying to install a module that had never been checked: Netigso: .../ide/modules/com-jcraft-jsch.jar at org.netbeans.ModuleManager.enable(ModuleManager.java:1078) The workaround is to delete *.dat from the cachedir and try again.
After a further diagnostic patch: Caused by: org.netbeans.InvalidException: Netigso: .../ide/modules/com-jcraft-jsch.jar: no manifest at org.netbeans.core.startup.NbInstaller.prepare(NbInstaller.java:161) at org.netbeans.ModuleManager.enable(ModuleManager.java:1070) ... 8 more which is odd since this JAR certainly does have a manifest. And then: WARNING [org.netbeans.core.startup.ModuleList]: Error encountered while reading org.apache.commons.lang java.lang.NullPointerException: The manifest parameter cannot be null at org.openide.util.Parameters.notNull(Parameters.java:89) at org.netbeans.NetigsoModule.<init>(NetigsoModule.java:75) at org.netbeans.ModuleFactory.create(ModuleFactory.java:70) at org.netbeans.ModuleManager.createBundle(ModuleManager.java:755) at org.netbeans.core.startup.ModuleList.createModule(ModuleList.java:185) [catch] at org.netbeans.core.startup.ModuleList$ReadInitial.run(ModuleList.java:1668)
I think I have a hotfix that seems to work, so just review it to see if something cleaner can be done.

CachingAndExternalPathsTest was not happy with that. Trying again: core-main #29a214fd9b27
