It seems that the AU client is currently broken for updating existing modules. Try running a dev build and downloading treefs from beta AU - installs fine in user dir w/o restart. Now run AU again on alpha AU and get the newer treefs (1.22 -> 1.26) and agree to restart. It is not installed; treefs.nbm 1.26 stays in $userdir/update/download/; every time you exit the IDE it restarts. Seems to be caused by a mistake in runide.sh (did not check runide.exe) 1.51, not corrected in 1.52. do_run_updater() { eval "\"$jdkhome/bin/java\"" -classpath "\"${updatercp}\"" $jargs $updater_class } does not pass in the userdir any more, since $jargs no longer includes "-J-Dnetbeans.user=$userdir". Probably need to add that explicitly.
Unix version fixed. Windows did not have this problem. /cvs/core/release/bin/runide.sh,v <-- runide.sh new revision: 1.53; previous revision: 1.52
