Because the installation check depends on hardcoded plugin name, see ChromeManagerAccessor.ChromeExtensionManager.PLUGIN_NAME. When the plugin name is translated, this hardcoded name will stop working.
I suggest we do not localize the plugin name - it will always be "NetBeans Connector". Otherwise I'm not sure how to change the implementation - recognize presence of NB plugin according to what? icon being "img/netbeans16.png"? Could do.
(In reply to comment #1) > icon being "img/netbeans16.png"? Could do. Or add some "special" image/file with hard-to-guess (hashed?) filename that would server just for this recognition?
There is no need for such hacks. The extension has a unique ID that is derived from its public key (that is included in the .crx file), see [1]. The ID of our extension is "hafdlehgocfcodbgjnpecfajgkeejnaa". Hence, instead of checking the name, we should check the ID. FYI: The ID of the registered extension can be obtained through e.getKey() where e is the variable from line 161 in ChromeManagerAccessor.java. [1] http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/packaging.html
Thanks for pointing this out, but one thing to remember is that the ID of the extension when uploaded to Chrome Web Store is different - the URL of the plugin is https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/netbeans-connector/ehdgmbjjaocpjdnapfadcldificeaaki
I will use directly the public key instead of ID.
