This is probably not duplicate of bug 127368. Problem seems to be caused by configuration of builder. Hudson console: [repeat] Note: Indexing 4 HTML files in /space/hudson/jobs/ODS/workspace/dbschema/src/org/netbeans/modules/dbschema/docs into org/netbeans/modules/dbschema/docs/JavaHelpSearch/ [repeat] java.lang.Exception: ConfigFile and/or IndexBuilder not set [repeat] at com.sun.java.help.search.DefaultIndexerKit.storeToken(DefaultIndexerKit.java:145) [repeat] at com.sun.java.help.search.DefaultIndexerKit.parseIntoTokens(DefaultIndexerKit.java:106) [...] [repeat] at com.sun.java.help.search.Indexer.parseFile(Indexer.java:260) [repeat] at com.sun.java.help.search.Indexer.compile(Indexer.java:208) [repeat] at com.sun.java.help.search.Indexer.main(Indexer.java:76) [repeat] at org.netbeans.modules.javahelp.HelpSetRegistrationProcessor.handleProcess( HelpSetRegistrationProcessor.java:168)
Only reproducible on branch builds from http://konik-z2.cz.oracle.com:8080/hudson/job/ODS/
Could be related to bug 107775.

Now it is not possible to open help which also blocks automated tests. Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201308212300) Java: 1.7.0_40; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 24.0-b55 Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.7.0_40-b40
The older reports are probably related to system configuration, see bug 107775. The current problem is caused by removing help files in dbschema: http://hg.netbeans.org/core-main/rev/4a957f5c4a70 I've removed the rest of HelpSet files: http://hg.netbeans.org/core-main/rev/a790bd35c97f The helpset is not completely unregistered, including mapping of help IDs and items in TOC. Maybe we will have to update mappings and TOC of the helpset where the topic was moved into. Ken, can you please check it? Thanks.
