Description

Update NetBeans to version

commit ab822e2c93541f69bc5e27250f22ba84c4f581ec (HEAD -> feature/autoupdate_enable_download, sdedic/feature/autoupdate_enable_download)

and then ant build and start with clean userdir:

nbbuild$ rm -rf netbeans/ testuserdir/; unzip NetBeans-dev-*-ab822e2c9354-release.zip ; ant tryme

Go to Tools/Plugins/Installed, check the Show details checkbox, so one sees not only features, but all AU visible modules and try to activate JavaScript2 Kit:

Activation failed: Not all requested modules can be enabled: [StandardModule:org.netbeans.modules.javascript2.kit jarFile: nbbuild/netbeans/webcommon/modules/org-netbeans-modules-javascript2-kit.jar]

 

There is a workaround. One can go into the Available Plugins tab and install Oracle Javascript Parser implementation first. Then activation of JavaScript2 Kit (btw. why "2", that is an implementation detail the version "1" is buried in history for many years) succeeds.
