Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: netbeans

The Netbeans Plugins dialog behaves oddly:

First, it seemed like I can't install any plugins:  Even though there is
a list of Available Plugins, I can't change the first column (Install)
from false to true by either single or double or any other clicking.
The Install button is greyed out.

After some clicking I found out that there is a context menu where I can
chose Check Category Foo.  If I do so, all packages in the category Foo
are marked for installation and the Install button isn't greyed out
anymore.  Installation works fine then.  This was ok with the
Groovy/Grails plugin I needed.  But eg. for PHP this doesn't work for me
since it will also install PHP Symphony and whatever else is in that
category.

Even better, if I go to the Installed Plugins tab, I can also use the
context menu to Deactivate a whole category.  That context menu even has
an entry to enable or disable single plugins.  But these entries are
greyed out.  So I can't disable eg. the CVS plugin which I don't need
without disabling the whole Base IDE category.

I don't know if this is a (K)Ubuntu specific bug; Google didn't help me.
