Re: AutoUpdate // clear module cache

You must be doing something wrong. It shouldn't be necessary to clear any
cache.

Are you using NB Platform's out-of-the-box functionality or have you rolled
your own using the NB Auto Update Services API ?

Personally I learned a lot about how this works from "The Definitive Guide
To NetBeans Platform 7" by Heiko Böck (chapter 36 and chapter 25). The book
is rather old and you can possibly find it online now.
If you are creating an NB application where you want to customize how the
module install/update mechanism works, meaning you want full control, then
especially chapter 25 has been an eye opener for me.

Note that for the NB Platform in general there are IMO better books now.
But especially for this topic I haven't seen it covered as good as in that
book.
