Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build EaselCSS-499-on-20120815) Java: 1.7.0_04; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 23.0-b21 System: Windows 7 version 6.1 running on x86; Cp1252; en_US (nb) Every time I run in Chrome it shows the dialog box prompting me to install the plugin, even though it's already installed.
I personally can not reproduce, but if it indeed happens, then it needs to be fixed.
Could this be related to the space in path aspect of bug 215635 ?
(In reply to comment #2) > Could this be related to the space in path aspect of bug 215635 ? I don't think so. Spaces in path would have been incorrectly handled in provided URL ( by browser ). But dialog is displayed based on plugin information where spaces in path shouldn't be an issue. The installation dialog shows in the result of number checks: - plugin version is old ( IDE has newer plugin version ) - plugin is disabled - plugin is not installed Probably items 1) or 2) is a source of the issue. I've checked the issue against my Win 7 system. It works correct. Could you please check what version of the plugin you have installed ?
Ok, I can now reproduce reliably - happend when an outdated version of the plugin is installed. E.g. after I switched from Easel build #504 to #507, this dialog kept appearing as the version of the plugin changed between these two builds. The workaround is to uninstall the plugin and install a newer version. I am changing priority to P2 since a workaround exists, but this should still be fixed soon.

Sorry Petr, why this is workaround ? This is exactly the solution. Dialog is correctly displayed because of old plugin version. The only thing which is meaningful here is additional informational message to inform about outdated version. But still user has to reinstall the plugin. So I suppose this is P3 and description should be changed to smth like "inform the user when its plugin requires update".
I agree. Let's just change the wording in the dialog in case the plugin is outdated.
