Description lvskiprof 2011-07-08 18:05:24 UTC 
The libraries that come with Netbeans have no version info shown when you are in the Library Manager or Project Properties.  Knowing the version is critical to knowing if you need to create your own library to include fixes that might have been put into a new version that what is bundled with Netbeans.

I ran into this using the Selenium plugin, which was using an early version of 2.0 when the official release was 1.0.3 - yet it merely showed Selenium for the library, so this also affects makers of plugins.

Some libraries do show the version. Up to the definer of that particular library.
Comment 2 Tomas Mysik 2011-07-15 05:11:42 UTC 
Reassigning to Selenium, please evaluate. Thanks.
Comment 3 Martin Fousek 2012-01-09 18:48:46 UTC 
Fixed in main/contrib #d0928aedf79e.

Should be available on Plugin Portal UC in few days. Thanks for reporting that.
