Using NB 5.5 beta 2 on Windows XP with Subversion 1.2.3 (but not the Subversion
plugin, just command-line). I have a module suite project containing a
collection of module projects. I have set up the branding files under the
directory named "branding", including these files:

branding\core\core.jar\org\netbeans\core\startup\Bundle.properties
branding\modules\org-netbeans-core.jar\org\netbeans\core\ui\Bundle.properties
branding\modules\org-netbeans-core-windows.jar\org\netbeans\core\windows\view\ui\Bundle.properties

To start with, the revision control system says these files are clean and
up-to-date. Now say I bring up the module suite Properties dialog and
immediately click the Ok button, without changing anything -- now those three
aforementioned files are modified. They have been completely rewritten, and the
currentVersion property has been modified to "JSwat Debugger {0}". I had
specifically hand-edited that property to not include the {0}, so I then have to
edit it again to correct the problem.

Note that this happens just the first time. If I leave the IDE open and revert
those files and bring up the module suite Properties dialog again, the files are
not modified.

Also note, it would be great if I could edit that currentVersion property
properly using the Properties dialog. It is annoying that I must hand-edit the
file to get the result that I want.
