I just CVS-uped all my modules and rebuilt them all, and I noticed that MDR Explorer is not functioning. In particular: (1) The root node of the MDR Explorer has a plain white "document" icon instead of the normal icon, it contains no child nodes, there are no interesting properties, and there are no alternative looks listed for the node. (2) Opening MDR Explorer does not cause the storage files for the repositories to be created. Usually, the storage files get created when MDR Explorer first starts, if they don't exist already. (3) Even if another module accesses the repository and thus creates the storage files, MDR Explorer is not updated to see them. I suspect this is a looks-related issue but I don't know where to start investigating. I see that there have been some changes to Looks recently. I have rebuilt the MDR module within the last few days without noticing this problem, but I had not rebuilt NetBeans in a few weeks until just a few moments ago.
This was caused by last week's changes in naming module which caused the looks module to not work. I have fixed the looks module, so now it should be ok. Thanks for catching this! Martin
