Description _ sandipchitale 2007-12-21 18:08:27 UTC

Now that the NetBeans Plugin Portal is live long enough to span more than one active NetBeans releases (what I mean by
that is that there are folks who are using NetBeans 5.0, 5.5 or 6.0) - a limitation of the NetBeans Plugin Portal is
becoming apparent. Here is the scenario: I have three variants of Code Template Tools module that are compatible with
NetBeans 5.x, NetBeans 6.0 and the trunk builds. The reason for this is the changes in API/code template storage format
etc. I would like to manage these three variants on the same Plugin page e.g.

http://plugins.netbeans.org/PluginPortal/faces/PluginDetailPage.jsp?pluginid=1157

The reason is:

- Basically most of the description of the plugin is same - only implementations are different
- Discoverability of the module in one place
- Do not want to pollute the top level name space with names like:

   - Code Template Tools (5.x)
   - Code Template Tools (6.0)
   - Code Template Tools (post 6.0 trunk builds)
   - ...

Basically what I would like is a table where I can upload/manage the NBM versions + a location for version specific
description and screenshots.

Although this issue is older, #198001 has more useful comments.
