I just downloaded the installer from the staging area. Immediately before, I had installed nb551 beta into /opt/netbeans-5.5.1beta. When I ran the cnd installer, it only listed /opt/netbeans-5.5 and /opt/netbeans-6.0dev releases, but not my /opt/netbeans-5.5.1beta release. Since /opt/netbeans-5.5.1beta should be its 1st choice (IMHO), this is a serious bug.
I checked source in CVS branch release551_beta and it is correct. It looks like problem is on RE side.
This was communication issue. It is resolved now.
The bug is reproducible in cnd build 031207 on Windows platform. I have preinstalled both nb 5.5 (C:\Program Files\netbeans-5.5) and nb 5.5.1 (C:\Program Files\netbeans-5.5.1dev). When I try to install cnd pack it finds only C:\Program Files\netbeans-5.5
I just tested latest build 070326_1 and it works fine ie. it finds NB 5.5.1 Dev. I also added NB 5.5.1 RC1 to search list on Friday (so this latest build should detect RC1 too). Now this issue mixes branch release551_beta and release551. CND installer build from branch release551 does NOT searches for NB 5.5.1 Beta. If there is any version missing please file separate issue to avoid confusion. Original issue was AFAIK for CND 5.5.1 Beta from branch release551.
I checked build from builds/cnd/5.5.1/Build070326_1/
