If I try to call getModelSource() using a location URI which point to an unexistant file, I get a CatalogModelException which wrap a FileNotFoundException. But later, I re-call getModelSource() with the same location URI and this time, the underground file exists in the filesystem because I've added / copied it... and I always get a CatalogModelException. This behaviour is due to the failedURIs map which was added since Netbeans 7.1. Is there any way to clean this map properly ?
Not at this moment; the information about the failed URI will last until the IDE restart. I would like to code a proper resource management in the future, so that the user could be able to clear the 'failed' flag manually + IDE could watch/update for the local resources - but it means more or less overhaul of the whole XML Retriever + Catalog infrastructure.
