Bugzilla Bug 160829

There is something wrong with ${HOME}/.netbeans creation: at startup I got
"Metamodel XMI malformed" exception (full log is attached), many IDE functions
does not work properly (navigator shows "Scanning..." message forever, errors
at project creation, etc). I've tried netbeans.org Linux bundle
(netbeans-5_5-linux.bin) and it works fine. It even somehow fixed
${HOME}/.netbeans, so now I can run portage version of netbeans (although it
still raises errors during code completion for classes from third-party jars).

Reproducible: Always

Bugzilla says that my emerge --info is too long, so I attached it.

I encountered something similar to this with 4.0, it was caused by
dev-java/jmi-interface mof.jar not having a required xml file in it. I would
guess that this could be fixed by bumping jmi-interface using the sources from
5.5.

I think you are right: replacing jmi.jar and mof.jar (from
jmi-interface-1.0-r2) in /usr/share/netbeans-5.5/ide7/modules/ext with ones
from official bundle solved my problem.

Thank you. Now I can view and edit the project properties. Is this a problem
with the jmi-interface or caused by netbeans not using standard jars?

I found that problem is in jmi-interface mof.jar. See bug #162328. 

Deps raised to the new jmi-interface revision. Thanks for reporting and finding
out the issue.
