After ICEfaces tool bundles for Netbeans 7 are released, some users experienced problem with the installation of ICEfaces tool bundle.

The problem is caused by updates of Netbeans' Editor Library, which a ICEfaces plugins "org-icefaces-netbeans-modules-web-frameworks-support.nbm" depends on. Looks like Netbeans cannot properly detect plugin dependencies and arrange update sequence.

To work around this issue, you need to follow following steps into install ICEfaces plugins for Netbeans 7.0.

1. Open Plugins manager by choosing Tools -> Plugins from main menu
2. Under Update tab, there should see 12 or more available updates from Netbeans update center, such as "Editor Formating Prior to 6.5 Separation" etc. If you don't see available update, you already have latest update installed.
3. You should perform update by clicking Install button before installing ICEfaces plugins if you want to update. Otherwise uncheck all updates and then install ICEfaces plugins.
4. After install Netbeans' updates or uncheck available updates under Updates tab, click Downloaded tab and click Add Plugins... button to specify the location of .nbm files from ICEfaces tool bundle for Netbeans
5. Select following 3 Netbeans' modules
* org-netbeans-modules-web-frameworks-icefaces.nbm
* org-netbeans-modules-icefaceslib.nbm
* org-icefaces-netbeans-modules-web-frameworks-support.nbm
6. Click Install button. The confirmation dialog should show 3 and only 3 ICEfaces plugins to be installed as:
* ICEfaces 2 Editor Support [7.0.x.x.x]
* ICEfaces 2 Library Module [2.0.x.x]
* ICEfaces Framework [7.0.x.x.x]
Then you can click Next> to finish installing ICEfaces plugins.

If there are more listed such as Java Debugger [1.19.2] to be updated, do not continue.

Rule of thumb is DO NOT install ICEfaces plugins and update Netbeans' updates together in the same time. Netbeans cannot handle this and will ruin your Netbeans installation and you may have to re-install Netbeans.
