Hi everyone, I updated four plugins (actually two plugins and two extensions for one of the plugins) and it took quite some time to get them approved and some of them are still not. Also I had to drop the verification for my previous version for some of the older NetBeans version to be able to request the approval for the new version as they haven’t been approved yet, my plugin is not available via the plugin center inside the NetBeans IDE for those versions at all.
All that made me think and led me to those questions: - Is it really necessary to go through the approval process for each version? Sure you can introduce bugs in any new version and cause issues, but I’m just asking a question to start a discussion on how to improve thinks here, I haven’t thought that through yet. - Would it be possible to provide something like an authorized publisher account which is able to publish trusted plugins? Maybe they could have an easier or not approval workflow at all? - Or Is it possible to support the NetBeans team in the approval of plugins? (not my own of course, but I guess I’m not the only one who’s waiting for approvals) Just to make that clear: I’m not really complaining, I actually like the plugin portal, but I would like to start a discussion on how to make it easier for the NetBeans team which needs to maintain this and for the developers to get our plugins verified easier and/or faster.
