The pluginportal-update-center.xml file has zero size and the plugin portal is impossible to use from inside the IDE via update center mechanism. Please check the following URL: http://plugins.netbeans.org/nbpluginportal/files/nbms/pluginportal-update-center.xml. Thanks, -Azary
There was a problem with generation of the http://plugins.netbeans.org/nbpluginportal/files/nbms/pluginportal-update-center.xml file. I fixed this. However, the Plugin Portal UC listed in NetBeans 6 IDE will be populated with verified plugins only. The plugin portal is undergoing changes at this moment to support this process and this feature should be available very soon. If you wish to use the UC described by http://plugins.netbeans.org/nbpluginportal/files/nbms/pluginportal-update-center.xml, please manually add this to NetBeans IDE 6.
