Currently there seems to be no information on the pluginportal website http://plugins.netbeans.org/PluginPortal/ where the autoupdate center (eg. http://plugins.netbeans.org/nbpluginportal/updates/6.5/catalog.xml.gz) is? Please put this url on a prominent place on the frontpage.
Reassigning to PluginPortal component.
Can you please elaborate why these URLs deserve more visibility? It's a technical detail that users should not care about. I am sure it would only confuse users. Besides, the URLs are integrated in each Beta/RC/FCS builds so there is no configuration on user's side necessary. Closing as WONTFIX because from my perspective it really does not make any sense.
