Hello,
I forgot to request verification of my little plugin for NB 13. Then i
was wondering - I bet some don't even know that they have to request
verification after every NetBeans release, otherwise it won't appear
in the plugin manager.
Thanks for mentioning this. I usually forget. Thought I'd add a request
for NB-14 while I was thinking about it; but alas, new version's not
there yet.
Might be good to add a version button for a new release early in the
process, maybe during RC.
Searching through the plugin portal showed some useful plugins which
weren't verified since NB 12.
Could this be automated? Lets say there is a successful verification
for NetBeans N-1, it would automatically request verification for N on
release.
I'd guess it's very rare that a plugin stops working. If an automatic
extension to the next release, or something like that, isn't acceptable,
then the automated request seems useful.
There was some discussion around this in the "Postmortem 12.5" thread,
when the new versioning scheme came about
https://lists.apache.org/thread/fzojvpgh6kboh99qfpc22x66wx7jccf9
and there is some discussion about how to specify plugin compatibility,
including a suggestion from Jaroslav Tulach,
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-5064
It's a shame some plugins are almost lost, I still keep the license
changer around.
This would increase workload for the verifiers I suppose. There is
probably also the argument to be made that the plugin maintainers
should care about their plugins and not forget things like I do.
Maybe an automated mail to the maintainers as notification to
re-request verification?
I'd find that useful.
