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.
When turning on a feature on given entry point, ergonomics will check for updates of newly activated modules in the cached catalog. If any, pushes AU to notify it in an balloon about available updates in the status bar.
Proposed a new service provider (see issue 211796) which could be useful for this case as well. There would be a method CheckForUpdatesProvider.notifyAvailableUpdates(boolean reload) what can be invoked with false parameter here.
