Also, in the catalog XML file link you shared off-list the plugin links are http. That should be changed again to ensure https is used before switching. I assume the catalog redirects via the VM for stats, etc. how do people see the actual link to the file they're downloading? > The concept of community controlled publishing of plugins on the > Plugin Portal Update Center remains unchanged i.e. if two verifiers > approve a plugin and nobody disapproves it, the plugin gets > automatically added to the module catalog for appropriate NetBeans version. What happens when a plugin is updated? Do we require re-validation? I hope so. I and others have asked about adding SHA hash in the catalog file, validated by the IDE, to ensure that the file downloaded is the exact one that has been verified. Maven links should at least be stable, so maybe less of an issue? But we should do all we can to ensure third-party links we include in the IDE always go to the same code. > Finally, once the final polishing is made, we will open source the > codebase so that everyone can participate in improving the website. Seems a little backwards in approach for an Apache project! ;-) Thanks and best wishes, Neil --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@netbeans.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@netbeans.apache.org For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
