Yesterday we (I and Dafe) run into the same
problem. We started our new dev build and invoked
AutoUpdate Center to download apisupport. We found
one on StableAU, downloaded, restarted and it -
failed. Sounds like a bug.

apisupport 2.10.2 declares package dependency:
OpenIDE-Module-Package-Dependencies="javax.help[HelpSet] > 1.0

However if you build apisupport module from sources now,
it doesn't declare this dependency.

This dependency failed because of not present jh.jar in lib/ext.

Autoupdate currently don't check package type of 
dependencies. It will be very difficult, because I need module
classloader to check it and I have only module nbm 
at this time..
So I'm changing it to RFE.

Jesse, could you post new nbm to dev Update Center?

Comment 2 Jesse Glick 2002-04-26 15:20:41 UTC 
Robert, the AU server is yours... I suggest either (1) a copy of
apisupport from the trunk be built, and published on the dev update
server or (2) apisupport be removed from the dev update server - you
need to build your own. (1) is nicer, but (2) is safer, especially
with XML parsers being moved around which could easily break older
binaries. I don't have time to cut an "official" release of apisupport
at the moment, it would be for AU only.
Comment 3 Jesse Glick 2002-04-26 15:22:35 UTC 
Oh and to confirm Ales' point - AU cannot realistically check package
dependencies in advance, it's too complicated.
Comment 4 rnovak 2002-04-26 16:11:35 UTC 
I decided to remove Apisupport from Netbeans dev Main Autoupdate.
Jesse, if you think we should put trunk version on the Update Center,
I can build it and put on dev Beta Autoupdate.
Comment 5 Jesse Glick 2002-04-26 22:03:40 UTC 
Fine, thanks.
Comment 6 Marek Grummich 2002-07-19 17:03:07 UTC 
Target milestone was changed from not determined to TBD
Comment 7 Jesse Glick 2002-10-22 14:54:52 UTC 
I don't know how old this is, but I think it is OK now. Reopen as needed.

Issue #27776 tracks javax.help package dep compat problem.

We recently moved out from Collabnet's infrastructure
