Quick fix for a long standing annoyance. We've had a number of users report confusion that using `Help / Check for Updates` only shows plugin updates (which are rare, especially from us) and not new releases of the IDE. In particular, that the text reads "Your IDE is up to date!" when it's not the latest release. This change adds any update centre notification text to the dialog if no plugin updates are available. If you want to test, change the NetBeans Distribution update link from https://netbeans.apache.org/nb/updates/dev/updates.xml.gz to https://netbeans.apache.org/nb/updates/14/updates.xml.gz and use Check for Updates. Image without notification (default as now).  Image with update notification from NB14 catalog.  I've left the header text as is, although I think it's somewhat confusing too for updates. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
