Hi, this information is not correct. The NetBeans 11.2 Update Center for user provided plugins still is supplied by http://plugins.netbeans.org/ . You can verify this by trying to download:
https://netbeans.apache.org/nb/plugins/11.2/catalog.xml.gz This redirects to: http://plugins.netbeans.org/nbpluginportal/updates/11.0/catalog.xml.gz TL;DR: To get a plugin installable via Update Center into 11.2, get it verified for 11.0 and you should be done (unchecked, as I'm currently not able to login).
