Yes, the strange think is, if I build a zip ("ant build") and extract it, I
can add it as a platform without problem.
But, as I said, adding the nbbuild/netbeans directly causes problems. The
folder is recognized as a platform and I can add it as a NetBeans platform,
but the modules list is either empty or contains only one single module
"RCP Platform".
This is inconvenient because I want to compile a platform application
against my own fork of the platform which I'm adapting at the same time. I
don't want to zip and extract every time I make a slight change to the
platform sources.
My guess is that the ant target "zip-cluster-config" causes the magic that
make the IDE recognize the modules, because this is what is called in
addition to "build-nozip".
I'm going to file an issue tonight.
