Product Version = NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201307062300) Operating System = Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86 Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_25 Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 23.25-b01 From Tools-Plugins-Available Plugins installing the JMeter plugin, Netbeans freezes at: unpacking org-netbeans-modules-profiler-loadgen.nbm
I've just tried it, although the progress is stuck for some time at the point you mentioned, it eventually finishes.
Then maybe should we consider this, as a problem of slowness?
This is an UX bug of the autoupdate UI. It's not acceptable to have the progress bar stuck at 67% for 10 minutes. The user will rightfully believe NetBeans is stuck and try to kill it (the Cancel button is also disabled this whole time). (See Geertjan's blog https://blogs.oracle.com/geertjan/entry/faq_jmeter_and_netbeans_ide : > The plugin takes a long time to install. Unpacking hangs at 67%, during the unpacking of 'org-netbeans-modules-loadgenerator.nbm'. When this happens, don't worry, just wait a bit longer, for me it took about 10 minutes and then the installation succeeded.) If the autoupdate classes are unable to estimate properly, it would be better to switch the progress to inDeterminate (or maybe even call suspend?).
