Description err 2007-06-12 04:47:52 UTC 
The instructions, when publishing a plugin, say that module suite should be
uploaded as a zip file. I did that and the nbm's don't appear in when I look at
the plugin portal's update center.

plugin: jVi

Is this still happening?
Comment 2 err 2008-04-12 23:22:58 UTC 
My plugin consists of two NBM's. As indicated, they are packaged together in a zip as ; and the zip was uploaded to the
plugin center. So there is a zip file with a couple of NBM's in it. Something like:
/rel/ $ jar -tvf nbvi-1.1.4.zip
331294 Sun Apr 06 13:04:28 PDT 2008 nbvi-1.1.4/com-raelity-jvi.nbm
109790 Sun Apr 06 13:04:28 PDT 2008 nbvi-1.1.4/org-netbeans-modules-jvi.nbm
 28537 Sun Apr 06 13:04:28 PDT 2008 nbvi-1.1.4/updates.xml
     0 Sun Apr 06 13:04:28 PDT 2008 nbvi-1.1.4/

I have not tried this since I first saw the problem. Is there any reason to believe that the individual NBMs inside the
jar file will be properly made available in the update center?

The plugin is at http://plugins.netbeans.org/PluginPortal/faces/PluginDetailPage.jsp?pluginid=2802

Because of this problem, because there are additional files a user may want download to patch NetBeans and because of
the inability to have different versions of the plugin for different versions of NetBeans I no longer put new releases
in the plugin portal.

BTW, I would like to keep the plugin page, but remove the .zip file that is there and have the plugin-portal's download
button go to the sourceforge download page for this project, see http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=108917 .

I think this is working these days; at least I did it for Automatic Projects (though there was also some problem that apparently needed manual correction on the server).
Comment 4 Jiri Kovalsky 2011-05-06 14:24:26 UTC 
Yes, I think this can be closed now.
