Hi Ernie,

unfortunately the Wiki [1] was not fully up-to-date so I just fixed it. The good news is that all the metadata is loaded automatically upon specifying GroupId and ArtifactId values so you basically just have to categorize your plugin in the Plugin Portal.

OK, thanks; great news. My biggest problem was actually that manually downloaded nbm would not have needed info. "loaded automatically", is that loaded from the nbm?

And I've noticed that currently if you install a downloaded maven nbm, the category in the plugin manager is given as the groupId (IIRC). Then the  nbms from the same groupId are together.

Currently, with ant nbm it looks to me like the plugin manager gets the data from Info/info.xml in the nbm, and this in turn comes from stuff in the project properties.

So now the question is how the metadata gets into the maven nbm (assuming that's where it is loaded from)? And how do I (will I?), as a plugin author, specify this data?

Is it any less confusing and laborious now?

Less confusing.
And the jury's still out :-)

Hi,

I'm going through the process of uploading an NB plugin to maven central. Is there any documentation and/or jira issues about spec/work to the IDE for setting up maven based plugins, or to the the plugin manager, or changes to the new plugin portal? A well crafted search for jira might do the trick.

I'm asking both for insights to help me with setting up my modules and to avoid filing duplicate or unneeded issues. I'm seeing a lot of rough edges and missing features (and not always sure which is which).

Handling license and pom data seems problematic. Additionally, the process outlined for "How to get plugin on Plugin Portal Update Center" has a lot of info input manuallyto the apache plugin portal that used to be (should be?) in the nbm; this is confusing to me. Manually installing a _downloaded_ maven nbm will likely be missing lots of info, e.g. licenses.
