This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
In order to avoid having a mess of doubtful plugins on the Plugin Portal it is important to implement some basic validation of the NBM file(s) during their upload to the site. If plugin does not include any licence text, module description is not available, no author is set or release date, Plugin Portal should not allow user to complete step 2 of the publishing wizard. Until this enhancement is fixed and deployed we can't turn on Community Contributed Features Update Center in NetBeans 6.0 FCS. See Update Centers concept document for NetBeans 6.0: http://wiki.netbeans.org/wiki/view/NB6UpdateCenters
Implemented for verification process.
