When editor module is disabled, properties fails. I get the following error when I disable the editor module from global options and then attempt to re-start netbeans. java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/netbeans/modules/editor/options/AllOptions at java.lang.Class.getMethod0(Native Method) at java.lang.Class.getMethod(Class.java:888) at org.netbeans.modules.properties.PropertiesModule.installColoring(PropertiesModul e.java:82) at org.netbeans.modules.properties.PropertiesModule.restored(PropertiesModule.java: 66) at org.netbeans.core.ModuleItem.restoreCode(ModuleItem.java:354) at org.netbeans.core.ModuleInstaller.initialize(ModuleInstaller.java:208) at org.netbeans.core.Main.main(Main.java:502) at org.netbeans.Main.main(Main.java:25) Suggested fix: (1) catch errors, not just exceptions; (2) don't use "org.netbeans.editor.Settings" as a test for editor module since that class is in lib/ext/nb-editor.jar even with the module disabled and is not a reliable test, rather use e.g. "org.netbeans.modules.editor.EditorModule" from modules/editor.jar.
Fixed in [main-trunk] and [boston] the suggested way.
verified in [main trunk](nb50) and [boston1025]
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
