NetBeans 6.0 Preview (M9) build #070502 Windows XP, JDK 1.6.0 RC build #101 Description: ============ It looks like Plugin Manager has problems with reading download size from module catalogue XML file because if a module depends on some other modules all modules claim to have the same size. Please look at the attached screenshot. However, the download size parameter has correct number if one looks directly at the URL of the Update Center in a web browser. Steps to reproduce: =================== 1. Invoke "Tools|Plugins" from main menu. 2. Switch to "New Plugins" tab. 3. Type Java into "Search" textfield. 4. After a while you will see three modules with exact download size which is incorrect: "Java FX Projects", "JavaFXLibrary" and "JavaFX UserLibrary".
Created attachment 42308 [details] Screenshot of plugin manager with wrong download size.
Size of plugin include also size of all depending plugin which must bbe installed together, an user can see the really size of download.

Okay, in such case I completely didn't get what "Size" means :-\ Maybe there could be a hint explaining that size means total size or something. Don't you have some great idea Pepo?
Renamed subcomponent 'module manager' to 'plugin manager' consistent with current naming.
