Hi all,

in NetBeans Plug-in 2.0.0 the extension descriptions (added to the
description.xml using the "Project Properties" dialog) are not added in
the manifest nor added to the oxt, so there is no description at all.
that is not the same. The descriptions in the project properties dialog will be referenced in the description.xml. The descriptions in the manifest are the old mechanism and i would say the are deprecated. Maybe the documentation is not up-to-date.

http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/Extensions/Extension_Description
seems to be up-to-date:

Versions of OOo earlier than 3.1 use the "Tooltip Description" of an extension which is kept in the manifest.xml. Using the "Tooltip Description" is *deprecated* as of OOo 3.1 and that functionality will not be maintained. Since then the description is specified in the description.xml. OOo 3.1 and later will first try to get the description from the description.xml. If there is none then it will try to get the tooltip description. That is, extensions can start to use this feature and need not necessarily require OOo 3.1. However, developers should be aware that the tooltip description may be removed in the future.


As OOo 3.0 extensions (in /sdext and /filter/source/pdfimport) use the package-bundle-description thing, I thought that also the NB plug-in 2.0.0 (released for/together with OOo 3.0.0) would work for OOo 3.0.0 ;-) ... at least considering that 3.1 release is in March 5th, 2009 (http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/OOoRelease31) and we are supposed to develop for the current OOo version, not for 5/6 month to come...

I talked to Joachim and the related cws will come into 3.1. I thought it was in 3.0. Anyway the plugin supports only the new way that is a reference in the description.xml.

yes, that's clear from http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/Extensions/Extension_Description

That the description folder isn't packed into the oxt file seems to be a bug. It seems that the 20 plugin version has some problems. We will fix it asap.

IMHO placing this version in the NB update center was a little premature (for production work this version has already given me several headaches), next time if you do a pre-release for testing and announce it here, I'm sure many of us will help testing it.

Regards
Ariel
