I am using a dev build w/ org.netbeans.core.windows/2 [2.0 031116] When I select the Test Tools module category on dev alpha AU, it includes the expected modules (XTest, JemmySupport, Test Tools, JellyTools, and Jemmy) but also Core - Windows (fr)! Why? Probably because jellytools and testtools have a dep on o.n.c.windows/1, and translatedfiles still includes localizations for /1. (Which I will file separately.) But AU should know that I already have o.n.c.windows/2 and thus I cannot download these modules at all - adding o.n.c.windows/1 would only cause a conflict. They should be treated as modules with unsatisfiable dependencies. Cf. www/www/updates/alpha/dev_1.6_.xml
See also issue #37272, issue #37273, issue #37274.
With issue #37273 fixed, less important.
reassigne to Jirka - new owner of autoupdate
will be investigated and fixed in 3.6
I guess this won't be fixed for NB4.0 , please evaluate again.
I don't know what should be fixed in AU module. It's not reproducible with current active catalogs nor with alpha/1.6 catalog. Close as worksforme.
I'm sure it's not reproducible with current catalogs because the bug was triggered by a certain circumstance which I described in the original report. If necessary you can retrieve the update XML file from CVS history with that timestamp. Generally, I think AU is not written correctly to handle major release versions, and there are surely various bugs in this area. I do not know of any unit tests which check this kind of behavior, so it is quite likely broken.
