Description lvskiprof 2011-07-19 22:37:32 UTC 
They released the official release 2.0.0 on July 14th, 2011.  The current plugin delivered Release Candidate 2 (2.0rc2), and the last of those was 2.0rc3, so this needs to be updated.

I would also like to make some suggestions.

1) Do not default to having the server start when Netbeans starts.  It slows it down, plus if you are using a grid or some other setup other than what it gets started at you need to disable it.

2) Allow for startup options to be entered for the server properties.

3) Name the library with the version number of the release, so people know which one they have.

4) Allow for the server and library to be replaced in some manner that works with the plugin.  I see they are already working on a 2.1.0 version.

5) Provide the sources and libraries for both the Java Client and Server, along with Netbeans projects for both, so people can make their own changes.  I have versions of both for 2.0.0 that I can provide.  I have fixed about 100+ Javadoc errors (which I have submitted to them), so these projects actually have more complete Javadoc info than what you get from the site.  The only thing that is not correct is that some of the test modules need fixes for additional inmports, but the source code branch compiles cleanly.

Ok I can update it for last time (then it would be better to register it externally like a server). I know that it's not possible for now, but I don't want waste more time with changes which would be deleted soon (because of change Selenium bundled as a lib -> Selenium bundled as a server).

You are able to turn it off by rightclick on the Selenium server and choosing properties.

Agree that it could be useful also then.

You should be able to give it your custom name when it will be server (I would expect).

Not much possible now. The path to binaries is harcoded as a library. Should be possible with the change to bundling that as a server again.

You will be able to provide another jar than. But I'm afraid that not sources. Among all this is quite corner case (not bigger than P4).

They have released a minor update (2.1.0) that fixes a few bugs from the 2.0.0 version now.

FYI, in next few days on the plugin portal should appear new update with bundled selenium 2.16.1 for Selenium server and also java/maven clients. However wasn't enough of time for rewriting Selenium as a standard server yet, sorry - leaving this issue opened.

We do have a new version of Selenium plugin in distribution, so closing all old issues to start with the clean table.
