Using Java 10 on Windows 10.
h3. expectation
_expectation_ #1
* Click "Install nb-javac" module
* nb-javac module is installed
* restart netbeans
* nb-javac module functions correctly
* I get on with my work.
Failing that ...
* I expect to see a URL where I can download nb-javac
* Expect a install sheet on web or in the readme or help area
* A clear process on how to install something like nb-javac, since I gather it
is not a plugin.
* I checked available plugins no {{nb-javac}} was seen.
_expectation _#2
* Whe/If module load or other actions is blocked by something like the absent
Kenai link for CoolEditorActions
* I'd like a pop-up or error message defining the problem.
* I prefer it it then allows me to skip that problem and continue
* I want something in the log to say: Loading nb-javac and nb-javac
loaded/failed because
* I'd like some kind of message saying were to go
h3. problem(s)
# n-javac can not be loaded
# module load fails on missing plugin location -- No message or chance to skip.
When I started NetBeans the first time – There is a _very small_ message to
load "nb-javac" with the instruction "click me". There is NO information
about that action, a URL or Plutin name, etc.
* see: [NETBEANS-244 -- *nb-javac notification under JDK9 is very easy to
overlook*|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-244]
I clicked this action. The download failed with this message:
{color:#205081}*Resolve "nb-javac library" Reference Problem*
Check your proxy settings or try again later. The server may be
unavailable at the moment. You may also want to make sure that your
firewall is not blocking network traffic.{color}
The network access is just fine. I was able to install some essential plugins,
etc. and login to JIRA.
I then ran Netbeans from the console but there were No Messages relating to
this procedure. There was an error on the CoolEditorActions plugin. I removed
that reference and all I saw the same{{Resolve "nb-javac library" Reference
Problem}} dialogue.
In the Netbeans .IDE log there is only this relating to the problem: {code:java}
INFO [null]: Last record repeated 2 more times.
{code}
Which makes little sense in context of the action.
I looked on the windows console and this time saw {{Unpaired license 00000008
without any module}} as below: {code:java}
INFO [org.netbeans.modules.autoupdate.updateprovider.AutoupdateCatalogParser]:
Unpaired license 00000008 without any module.
INFO [org.netbeans.modules.autoupdate.updateprovider.AutoupdateCatalogParser]:
Unpaired license 00000008 without any module.
{code}
So there's something wrong with the download, before it event attempts to
install the module.
*Other problem*
The auto-download needs to pop-up or at least say why/how/where it stopped.
This CoolEditorActions has become an orphan since Kenai has gone out of
business. A great pity really. Anyway there will probably be more of this as
the platform transitions to Apache. It would be better to handle that more
gracefully.
