Product Version: NetBeans IDE 6.0 RC1 (Build 200711120000) Java: 1.5.0_07; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.5.0_07-87 System: Mac OS X version 10.4.10 running on i386; MacRoman; en_US (nb) When the update center catalog is cached then the Plugin Manager doesn't register the change on the server. Plugin Manager should check whether the available catalog is the same like the one that is cached. If they differ then the new one should be cached.
Reassigning to the new "autoupdate/*" owner dlipin.
What would be the purpose of the cache then? As far as I know the check is done once a week (by default). Also there is a way to request immediate check for updates manually.
