How can user see > these encoder modules that have just been published? I notice that the latest build of NB6.0 does point to SOA update center. I downloaded and installed NB6.0 from http://bits.nbextras.org/netbeans/6.0/nightly/200704210000/. In the settings panel, 'NetBeans SOA pack update center' entry is shown and is selected. Now (after setting the proxy), when i switch to 'New Plugins' tab and click 'Refresh List', the ide connects to the ucs and displays the encoder modules. There is one slight problem though: I see 5 modules listed under 'Encoder' category and 4 modules listed under 'Unsorted' category. It looks like the 4 unsorted modules (which i think are the library modules for the 5 feature modules) do not specifiy module category correctly. Also, there probably needs to be a discussion on the categories used: 1: Perhaps feature modules should be under 'SOA' category and library modules under 'SOA Libraries' category. This will list all SOA plugins in one place. 2. Or encoder feature modules should be under 'SOA Encoders' category and library modules under 'SOA Encoders Libraries' category. This will inform the user that the plugins for SOA pack. (We can go with (2) instead of (1), if we think there may be a lot of SOA plugins and it is better not to list all of them under one category).
This issue doesn't seem to be relevant anymore. The Plugin Manager has changed a lot since this issue was filed. The"SOA update center" was replaced by "Standard Features Update Center"; in NB6 beta, i notice even that has gone and there is only 'NetBeans' update center in the client. Also, from Milestone 10, not all nbms for a plugin are listed in the client. For 'SOA' category only 'SOA' , 'BPEL' and 'Composite Application" modules are listed. Closing this issue as invalid.
