not a valid netbeans module

[Kirk Pepperdine]

Hi,

I just wrote a custom VisualVM plugin and upon installing I get;

org.netbeans.StandardModuleData@<some hex number here> is not a valid NetBeans module

The module works when running in NetBeans. Doesn’t install in a free standing VisualVM install.

Java version is 1.7.0_51
VisualVM platform is 1.3.8

NetBeans is 8.0.1
Java Platform is 1.7.0_51
Source level is 1.7

message in log is;

Caused: org.netbeans.InvalidException: Not a module: no OpenIDE-Module tag in manifest of ***@69d85fd0
at org.netbeans.ModuleData.<init>(ModuleData.java:95)
at org.netbeans.StandardModuleData.<init>(StandardModuleData.java:88)
at org.netbeans.StandardModule.createData(StandardModule.java:125)
at org.netbeans.Module.dataWithCheck(Module.java:184)

I started with JDK 8 but thought best to revert to JDK 7. I rebuilt the project from scratch thinking that I might have corrupted the config files in the process of changing versions. However the new project suffers from the same problem.

Not sure where to report this so I’ve cross posted

Kind regards,
Kirk Pepperdine

IIRC VisualVM is based on an old NB platform. Try to compile it against NB
platform 6.9/7.0. To stick with JDK7 is also good, because I doubt such an
old version of the platform runs without issues at a new JDK.

VisualVM 1.3.8 is based on NetBeans 8.0, which is not old.

Please don’t do it. VisualVM already contains all necessary NB platform modules, so the VisualVM module should be compiled against VisualVM used as NetBeans platform.

It runs just fine on JDK 8.

Hi Tomas/Kirk,

I revert my recent comment. Tomas, you are right, I looked it up in
Help|About|Logfile and JVisualVM runs using JDK8 and the modules are pretty
recent.

Sorry Kirk for the wrong direction.

With kind regards, markiewb
