Description Antonin Nebuzelsky 2007-06-22 17:30:57 UTC

Installer adds IDs of the installed components into productid file and the contents of this file is used as a prefix of
userdir's unique ID in update center URLs.

If a new component is installed later via Plugin Manager, its ID is not added to productid file and thus does not appear
in the unique ID parameter of URLs.

This has to be revised and evaluated for 6.0.

Comment 1 Antonin Nebuzelsky 2007-06-22 17:33:15 UTC

IDs of the components used by the installer are listed here:

Comment 2 Jiri Rechtacek 2007-06-22 17:51:01 UTC

Needs a special support in AU or PM code which would be not platform generic but only NetBeans specific.

Comment 3 Jiri Rechtacek 2007-07-02 17:19:23 UTC

productid file should be merged from all cluster (userdir incl.) because Plugin Manager installs IDE components (like
Ruby, C/C++, ...) into userdir. Plugin Manager should try read productid file across all clusters and merged them
together when connecting to UC.

Comment 4 Jiri Rechtacek 2007-08-08 13:36:53 UTC

This task was removed from set of requires for NB6.0 (issue 110566). Target is changed to future for now.

Comment 5 Jiri Rechtacek 2008-03-26 11:36:06 UTC

It is not defined requirement for NB6.0 or later. Changed the issue type to Feature for future tracking.

Comment 6 Jiri Rechtacek 2008-10-16 17:41:12 UTC

It's not in our plans for a long time. IMHO I should close as WONTFIX.
