Two problems with Netbeans 3.3.2
Hi,
I am working with Netbeans 3.3.2 on windows NT and I have two problems.
The first is with Netbeans Updater. I have used the Netbeans Update center
to install the metrics module (version 0.5.2). The installation went well
until Netbeans is stopped and the Netbeans Updater is started. The Updater
does nothing at all. I have to kill Netbeans and start it up again. The
metrics module is not installed. What is happening here?
The other problem I have is with the project tab. I have docked the project
tab (from the explorer view) into the source editor. This works fine for
me. Accidentally I closed the source editor. When I reopen the source
editor the project tab is gone. I can not find it in the explorer view too.
How can I get the project tab back?
Thanks.
Eddy

Perhaps the metrics module is not supported on NB 3.3.2. Robert (CC'd)
please test this... my guess is the new NBM format (with DTD) breaks the
updater. Eddy, if you want, try going to $user/update/download/, find
metrics.nbm, unzip it, and check Info/info.xml for a DOCTYPE at the
beginning. If there is one, try deleting the DOCTYPE & rezipping the NBM
file back to where it was and restart NB - maybe that will work. Just a
guess though.

I've deleted the DOCTYPE and installed the new created nbm, but I get a
'SHA1 digest error for Info/info.xml' :(. Do you have another suggestion?

This works :). I had the explorer view already open and it didn't occur to
me to reopen it again.

Ah, the signature is broken when you change it. Delete
META-INF/NB_IDE.SF and META-INF/NB_IDE.DSA from the ZIP and the
SHA1-Digest attribute lines from META-INF/MANIFEST.MF.
