Description etrof 2016-10-09 13:32:36 UTC
Uploading a Plugin NBM for NB8.2 fails with following error message:



    ERROR: archive seems to be missing Info/info.xml manifest file
    Error: There is moduleauthor attribute missing in the manifest file. See wiki for more info on plugin requirements.
    Error: There is OpenIDE-Module-Short-Description attribute missing in the manifest file. See wiki for more info on plugin requirements.
    Error: There is no license specified in the manifest file. See wiki for more info on plugin requirements.


This happened with two plugins I wanted to upload. Both contain the infos mentioned in the error message (actually, both are only compiled for NB8.2 and are already in the Plugin Portal for earlier versions).

Reproducing:

1. Select the Plugin in 'My Plugins'
2. "Add Binary"
3. Enter description, select v8.2 and select file to upload
4. "Save Plugin"
5. Error is shown as above

Hello,
there was lack of free disc space which most probably caused this issue - plugins were not extracted for info.xml inspection and therefore the error message.

I have cleared some space.

Can you please try again and let us know if it's working fine?
