When I start 3.5.1 RC1, I get the following error message: -------------- Annotation: Error encountered while reading Modules/org- netbeans-modules-serialversion.xml Annotation: C:\Documents and Settings\oyrous\.netbeans\3.5rc1\modules\serialversion.jar is not a valid NetBeans module. org.netbeans.core.modules.InvalidException: Not a module: no OpenIDE-Module tag in manifest of C:\Documents and Settings\oyrous\.netbeans\3.5rc1\modules\serialversion.jar at org.netbeans.core.modules.Module.parseManifest (Module.java:376) at org.netbeans.core.modules.Module.<init> (Module.java:139) at org.netbeans.core.modules.ModuleManager.create (ModuleManager.java:446) at org.netbeans.core.modules.ModuleList$1.run (ModuleList.java:380) at org.openide.filesystems.EventControl.runAtomicAction (EventControl.java:89) at org.openide.filesystems.FileSystem.runAtomicAction (FileSystem.java:414) at org.netbeans.core.modules.ModuleList.readInitial (ModuleList.java:260) at org.netbeans.core.modules.ModuleSystem.readList (ModuleSystem.java:263) at org.netbeans.core.NonGui.run(NonGui.java:469) at org.netbeans.core.Main.run(Main.java:235) at org.netbeans.core.NbTopManager.getNbTopManager (NbTopManager.java:236) at org.netbeans.core.NbTopManager.get (NbTopManager.java:195) at org.netbeans.core.Main.start(Main.java:409) at org.netbeans.core.TopThreadGroup.run (TopThreadGroup.java:79) [catch] at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:536) --------------- I'm not sure it's related, but also at the same token, the import of settings/projects from 3.4.1 does not work.

Need your ide.log file ("Create a new attachment"). Also need to know where serialversion.jar came from. From Auto Update? Downloaded when - from inside 3.5, or in an earlier version of NetBeans? Need to know the exact version of serialversion.jar - attach the manifest (META-INF/MANIFEST.MF).
Created attachment 10368 [details] ide.log
Hi there.. As you can see I attached ide.log for you. I believe the serialversion.jar came as a part of the original 3.5RC1 installation. I do not recall having used the autoupdate on 3.5RC1 yet. Here's a copy of what's in teh Manifest file: ------------ START ------------- OpenIDE-Module: org.netbeans.modules.serialversion/1 OpenIDE-Module-Name: Serial Version UIDs OpenIDE-Module-Specification-Version: 0.2 OpenIDE-Module-Implementation-Version: dev-16 Name: org/netbeans/modules/serialversion/SVUIDAction.class OpenIDE-Module-Class: Action ------------ FINISH ------------
Huh, you somehow wound up with a copy of serialversion.jar from late 2000 - probably saved in your $userdir/modules/ during an old auto update session. Its manifest is invalid due to a bug in an old version of Ant; older versions of NB apparently did not care, but NB 3.5 is stricter (actually the JDK does the parsing here). You should delete the JAR, and if you still want to run it, download a current version (available on the Update Center for 3.5).
