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.
According to the Permanent UI specification for the New Project wizard the correct name for NetBeans Modules is NetBeans Plugin Modules. It is incorrect twice as project category and as sample category http://wiki.netbeans.org/NewProjectWizard Please, follow the UI review process to fix it. Jano, can provide more details. http://wiki.netbeans.org/UIReviewProcess
The word "plugin" is not even good English. The correct technical term for the unit of deployment in NetBeans is a "module". The marketing name for a module which is marked AutoUpdate-Show-In-Client, and thus appears in Plugin [sic] Manager, is a "plug-in". Most modules are not plug-ins on their own because they are concealed from this wizard; in typical usage, a group of 5-10 modules will be displayed as one plug-in. IIRC a major reason for keeping the NPW category name short was to avoid introducing a gratuitous horizontal scrollbar into the wizard's category selection pane. Alternate terms and explanations can always be put in the HTML description area below.
I'm fine with updating the spec to "NetBeans Modules". If I remember correctly it used to be "NetBeans Plugin Modules", that's why I used it in the spec. Updated spec: http://wiki.netbeans.org/NewProjectWizard

ok, thanks for cooperation. Marking as verified Jano, I fixed the ui spec. You forgot to change the category description NetBeans Plugin Modules --> NetBeans Modules Module Module Suite Library Wrapper Module
