Thanks, Frank. Your experience is informative. The suites fully specify the correct set of dependencies. Individual modules can be added to enhance a suite, but one must understand the dependencies for those modules and add those as well in the correct order. So it is much more difficult to add in a module than to switch to a new suite. We'll need to think about how to improve that to make it more robust and make the module dependencies clearer in the Module Manager. Thanks for the feedback.<div>

Hello Again:<br>
I think my problem may be that I've been selecting Reporting-2.1 <i>MODULE</i>
instead of the <i>SUITE</i> in Module Manager. When I select the
suite, it works fine. That makes some sense - by selecting only the
reporting 2.1 module, several module dependencies were not met. It
that's the case, then perhaps a dependency warning would be helpful.
Otherwise, no further action.<br>
Thanks,<br><font color="#888888">

Hello:<br>
I'm having a problem using the Kepler Module Manager. Here are
the steps I've taken. The result is repeatable.<br>
<br>
1) Downloaded Kepler-2.0-osx.jar - success<br>
2) Ran installer - success<br>
3) Launched Kepler 2.0 - success<br>
4) Used Module Manager to install Kepler 2.1 - success<br>
5) Relaunched Kepler 2.1 - success<br>
6) Used Module Manager to install the Reporting-2.1 module - <font color="#ff0000">STALL</font><br>

At this point, I 'x' close the module manager window and menu quit
Kepler. When I try to relaunch Kepler after that I get the
following:<br>
<br>

The curious thing is I was able to use the Module Manager to
successfully add Reporting-2.1 to a long running Kepler 2.1
installation just last Friday.<br>
<br>
Appreciate any help / insight you can provide.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
