I created a NetBeans Platform application and module using Maven. When NetBeans tried to load the module on application startup, the following error was shown on the output:
WARNING [org.netbeans.core.startup.ModuleList]: Error encountered while reading your.module java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Bad package component in your.module |
The cause of the error was the module manifest file generated by Maven:
Manifest-Version: 1.0 OpenIDE-Module-Localizing-Bundle: your/module/Bundle.properties OpenIDE-Module-Layer: your/module/layer.xml |
It is incomplete and requires the OpenIDE-Module entry be populated as below:
OpenIDE-Module: your.module |
Add this and the application launches without error.
Netbeans Platform version 6.9.1
