This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
The documentation read: ---------- 2. Installation of MDR Binaries 2. Copy the mof.xml file (for more information on how to obtain the mof.xml file see Introduction) into the %folder% folder. ---------- %folder% is not defined in the documentation, however %temp% is. Placing mof.xml in %temp% works but after building and installing the modules, the MDR Repository node is empty. Netbeans 3.3.1, Sun's J2SE 1.4.0, Linux RH 7.2 and Windows XP, latest versions of MDR files as of 3/5
Reassigning to responsible developer.
The %folder% is a bug in a documentation. You correctly assumed that there should be %temp%. The issue with the Repository node being empty is caused by the fact that MDR does not work with JDK 1.4 yet.It is already entered as issue 21117. I will try to fix it ASAP. In the meantime please use JDK 1.3 or 1.3.1 to run MDR.
Fixed. MDR should now work fine with JDK 1.4 (see resolution to issue #21318). You will probably need to reboot your storage (see "Important note" at the bottom of http://mdr.netbeans.org/firststeps.html)
