Doh! Just asked for 11.0 verification. Thanks Matthias.

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).
Greetings

I have an existing NBM plugin, built as a NB module project using
ant. I
have never used maven. As the following request for clarification
shows,
I do not have an overview sense of what is required.
1) Do I need to convert the NB module project to build using maven?
The
first step in "How to get plugin on Plugin Portal Update Center" is
"1.
Upload your plugin to Maven Central". The docs for "How to upload
NetBeans Modules to Maven Central say
...the steps that are involved in getting your maven artifacts
into
the Maven Central...
This seems to imply that I need an NBM which is a maven artifact.
Yes, it's simpler if your Router Plugin Project is built using Maven.
From the IDE choose "File/New Project", then "Java with Maven" and
then
"NetBeans Module" (or "NetBeans Application" if you want a suite).
You'll be shown a dialog with some settings, then choose the
appropriate
NetBeans version dependencies (unfortunately you'll see RELEASE110
and
dev-snapshot, but not RELEASE112 in the combo box, but you can
change
that later).
The IDE will then download lots of dependencies from Maven Central.
This
is normal.
THen just copy the source code from your ant-based plugin and
compile.
Maybe you need to add some extra dependencies to your "pom.xml" file
for
things to compile properly.
For a working example you can see, for instance, the Alex Falappa's
nb-springboot plugin at https://github.com/AlexFalappa/nb-springboot
If you upload this project somewhere (gitlab/github/etc.) I can give
a hand.
2) Or is the process one in which I package an existing NBM (built
as an
ant project) into a maven artifact. Like a process done by
creating
files with an editor, maybe using the jar command as well.
3) Or perhaps it's a hybrid process. Built the NBM as usual with
ant,
then build something else which packages the NBM and creates a
maven
artifact.
The docs all assume I know how to get an NBM which is a maven
artifact;
at least that's how I read them. Unfortunately I do not know how to
do
that.
Once you've done that you'll end up with a NetBeans project that you
can
build with maven (instead of ant). The Maven infrastructure will
take
care of everything (very much like ant did).
Once you're ready to upload to Maven Central (i.e., you have proper
version numbers, etc.) see
http://maven.apache.org/repository/guide-central-repository-upload.html
for instructions on how to digitally sign and upload to Maven
Central.
We should document all this whole process better so people is not
confused any longer. Your questions do help us understand how badly
we're confusing things (for the better, we hope), so thanks for
asking! ;-).
Kind regards,
Antonio

An NBM can be uploaded to Maven and also added to the Plugin
Portal, not
sure if that helps, just wanting to help but not sure what you’re
asking.

Given an existing .nbm, is there a way to package it for maven
central,
and then add it the the new plugin portal without building the
.nbm's
project with maven?
I'm still looking at the documentation to cut my plugin over to
maven...
In the meantime, I'm looking for a way to satisfy some user
needs in a
timely fashion.
