[http://dvbcentral.sf.net DVB Central] is a TV broadcasting solution written on top of [[NetBeans Runtime Container]].

Today I decided to upgrade it to use version NetBeans 6.9 instead of 6.8. As I was already using the [[netbeans:AutoUpdateTask|AutoUpdateTask]], the whole change was [http://dvbcentral.hg.sourceforge.net/hgweb/dvbcentral/dvbcentral/rev/9f8bf1546dd9 quite simple]:

</source>

E.g. just use the update catalog for the new version.

The [[NetBeans]] 6.9 introduces one significant source compatible change: it separates [[Lookup]] [[API]] into own [[JAR]]. The old code still compiles and runs, yet it prints various warnings during initialization. To prevent them, please update your dependencies. This can be done by following script:

<source lang="bash">
$ ls -1 */build.xml | while read X; do ant -f $X fix-dependencies; done
</source>

Which will go through all modules in your suite and test whether their dependencies are as modern as they can be. Enjoy [[NetBeans]] 6.9!
