Re: Problem when patching platform modules that use @Message annotation

The Bundle classes are generated from NbBundle.Messages annotations. Try 
to do clean and build to force rebuild of the autoupdate module. That 
should process the annotations by NbBundleProcessor. If problems 
persists, assure that you have openide.util module checked out, which 
contains the processor and that you have proper dependency set on that 
module.

Hope that helps.
